Re: Print to Scale to PDF without Pagination
It seems like Sweethome uses one of the existing printer drivers on the user's computer to control a plot.I only have a letter size page printer. I do not know how to install a roll plotter driver in linux without having the plotter attached to the computer. I must not understand something about this.

It seems that having a generic roll plotter driver as part of Sweethome would permit choices of paper size for a pdf plot, without each individual having their own plotter driver. Since I do not know how this works this could be a stupid suggestion.

LibreCAD somehow provides the parameters to print a PDF to any standard plotter size. Maybe the coding could be shared?

Obviously not being able to contribute to the coding or whatever needed to help make this happen I am just hoping someone else has the capability and time.
