The default page lenght for the US version of the BJ200e is 11" (US Letter according to the default dip switch setting). You need to change the page length by software. Now changing the page length requires you to download the original Canon driver. Don't use the old Canon BJ10 driver that comes with the WB. You can order to Canon driver from the Canon Hotline in some european countries for free or download it from this forum as "CAN31B.LZH". Use the included installer software from WB. Than start the installed CanonPref program and change the page length to the required setting (and the WB Printer preferences!). Note: the orig. Canon driver does support Canon's Extended Emulation wich I STRONGLY recommend for printing from Final Writer. It's MUCH faster and better quality. Note: you don't have to define a Page Length when using Extended Emulation. The driver will do everything for you. But as said…. only the orig. Canon driver has these features on the Amiga.

Oh, I forgot to tell: In order to define a page length, you have to enable CanonForm in CanonPref. The page length itself is defined as usual in the printer preference program of the workbench. But this page length value is not used at all by the Commodore or Canon BJ driver unless you set Form in CanonPref.
