How to use A3 size with Officejet 7110 and HPLIP

Asked by Martin Berg

I am trying to make my Officejet 7110 Wide to print on A3 sized paper for a while now.

The OS is OpenSuse Leap 42.3 and the HPLIP version is 3.16.11.

When I print a test page using LibreOffice (and having set the page format to A3) only the content
from the file that fits within the "top-left A4 part" of the test page is printed - and that is positioned
top-center on the A3 paper.

When using CUPS or YaST there is no option for setting the default paper size to A3.

So in short: I can print on A3 paper, but only what fits on an A4 page is printed.

Any suggestions?

Best regards
Martin Berg

Sorry for the noise.

In preparation for buying a new printer instead, I decided to install the latest
version of the HPLIP driver.

This is not available for simple yast/zypper install from the OpenSuse repositories, and instead
I downloaded the software from this (the HP) site.

Interestingly the installation of this required the addition of a lot of dependencies (which I would have assumed to
previous version (default OpenSuse installation) to have included.

After some cleanup of the old printer queue - now A3 printing is working as required.
