Update: Thanks to Caneri, I found the correct ppd for my printer, but I didn't copy it to the correct directory at first. However, early this morning I re-read the CUPS instructions linked to the 2.15CE 'Viz' start page in SeaMonkey and re-installed CUPS v0.3.pup. I then re-read the popup and
realized I needed to copy the ppd to my /root. Voila, I can print in proper scale. Thanks everyone.
First of all, 215CE is my favorite to date. Sea Monkey does not crash, unlike ALL other versions of Mozilla and Opera in the other Puppy versions and the X server doesn't crash or lock up the 'puter (Compaq 667mghz, 256M RAM, onboard i810 video).
Anyhow, I have my Canon S330 USB printer set up with CUPS. What should be a letter-size print out is somehow reduced to about one-quarter size. How do I get a full-size print-out?
Thanks.

And how does one set this configuration in the Canon driver - if there is only 'one' dpi setting available as standard..?
ANSWER:
You will find the relevant "PPD" file for your Canon printer in Puppy's - '/usr/share/cups/model' - folder and is usually something like 'canonxxxxxxxx.ppd'..
If you open this file up in Puppy's Geany or Leafpad editors and scroll down till you find a section something like:
I recommend that you then REBOOT Puppy to make sure this file is enabled correctly..
Now in CUPS when you select the printer - you can also select which 'dpi' you want it to print out at..
Hope this helps

If you open this file up in Puppy's Geany or Leafpad editors and scroll down till you find a section something like:
and change it to read:*OpenUI *Resolution/Output Resolution: PickOne
*DefaultResolution: 300
*Resolution 300/300 dpi: "<</HWResolution[300 300]>>setpagedevice"
*CloseUI: *Resolution
Now if your particular printer can do a higher resolution dpi, then you could even do the following instead:*OpenUI *Resolution/Output Resolution: PickOne
*DefaultResolution: 600
*Resolution 300/300 dpi: "<</HWResolution[300 300]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 600/600 dpi: "<</HWResolution[600 600]>>setpagedevice"
*CloseUI: *Resolution
Save this file and exit..*OpenUI *Resolution/Output Resolution: PickOne
*DefaultResolution: 1200
*Resolution 300/300 dpi: "<</HWResolution[300 300]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 600/600 dpi: "<</HWResolution[600 600]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 1200/1200 dpi: "<</HWResolution[1200 1200]>>setpagedevice"
*CloseUI: *Resolution
I recommend that you then REBOOT Puppy to make sure this file is enabled correctly..

I don't have a Canon ppd entry in my "usr/share/cups/model" directory. There are some Canon ppd.gz entries in the Gutenprint sub-directory...are those relevant? Thanks for trying to help so far.

@hladik,
Remember that once you finish the editing and save the file - you will then need to use 'Pupzip' or 'XArchive' archiver prog to convert the saved '.ppd' file back to the required 'ppd.gz' type file..
HTH.

I don't use Gutenprint in CUPS - but I would say that probably yes - first though - do a 'backup' copy of that file - then open it up (I think it will be similar in format to the normal .PPD file) - then do the "edit" as per my previous post.There are some Canon ppd.gz entries in the Gutenprint sub-directory...are those relevant?
