Please only respond it you truly getting what I am looking for! Write a printer driver for EPSON L355 / L365 which make it possible to print in the width of the paper. We have a 129 x 89mm document which we want to print on a photo paper. For specific reasons, we want to place the document in width in the printer. We want to place the document with the 129mm Landscape in the printer. The printer, or actually Windows, because in Mac we don't have this issue), doesn't allow this. In windows we must place the document 'in the height' (portrait) No matter if we choose 'portrait or landscape' the document is always printed like the way in the image. I am looking for a driver for windows, which can print like the Mac example. See attachment. We print on 129 x 89mm ' Premium Glossy photo paper' > Fine. So we must be able to set this settings in Preferences. Print takes about 23 seconds to print. Basicly, that is all we need. In the attached image, I have printed on A4, but that is to show how prints comes out of Windows and Mac. We print from some software where we can't change settings. Also,the software we are working with, is not available for Mac (otherwise I wouldn't have to post this project) Also, if there is some 'third party software' which can do this, we are willing to give you a $250 'finders fee' instead.

Hi, I am experienced programmer with more than 3 years of development. I saw Your project and wanted to help out. From what I see in a first place is that problem is probably in Application that is used to print out image or format settings as default windows applications do it poorly. I have same printer (l365) and to debug this out would like to ask you what application is used to print images and what version of windows is used. Please contact me through chat so we can go through this in details. Yours sincerely, Ivan Klinac

I don't have any previous experience of writing Windows printer drivers, but I presume that it is well-documented on Microsoft's web site. I have plenty of programming experience in general (going back to the 1990s), including systems programming experience, so I think I can figure out how to do it. However, it might take a bit of research and fiddling around for me to work out how to do it: that is why I have specified 30 days as a worst-case completion time. I DO have some recent (2013) experience of using Octave to print dithered greyscale images on an old 1980s-era Star NX1000 dot-matrix printer. I did this project mainly for fun at the time.
