After I posted a previous query under the above, I had to leave Town
quickly and my newsreader trashed a bunch of articles before I returned.
If you responded earlier, please try again (I promise to be around) or
if you know the answer please share!

The PROBLEM: Using the low level printing calls to send a bitmap to an
ImageWriter LQ, the bitmap will be clipped on the righthand side as if
somehow the driver knew that 8 1/2 by 11 paper was in there (which it
wasn't).  Now, there's no way to set the page size using the low level
calls and if you use high level calls to set the page size, then close
the driver and open the low level, it still clips to the same size as before.

For some reason, the low level print calls for bitmaps will refuse to print
more than about 7 1/2" on a page horizontally.  

The QUESTION: Do you know how to 1) change the clipping region in the low
level driver to be larger or 2) Using the low level calls, specify the 
paper size which controls this clipping?

Any answers, comments, or psychic musings would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Owen
