After you setup the Personal LaserWriter NTR with the LaserWriter 8 driver in the Chooser, you will be offered four paper source selections:
Auto Select
Multipurpose Tray
Paper Cassette (grayed out)
Manual Feed
To print legal size paper from a Personal LaserWriter NTR and multipurpose tray with the LaserWriter 8 driver, you will have to select Multipurpose Tray every time from the pop-up menu in the Print dialog. The print driver does not retain your last paper source selection.
With US Legal selected from the Page Setup command in the File menu, and Multipurpose Tray or Manual Feed chosen in the Print dialog, a US Legal page will print correctly. However, if Auto Select is chosen in the Print dialog, the printer will center the bottom of the legal sized image to fit on a US Letter size page. This will cause the top 3-inches to be cut off.
With Auto Select chosen, the LaserWriter NTR assumes the paper size in the tray to be US Letter. Unfortunately, the printer cannot be configured with LaserWriter Utility or Apple Printer Utility to know that a Multipurpose Tray or Manual Feed selection has legal size paper.
