Mixed media sizes in single job - 11x17 rotating 180 degrees
I am having an issue with printing PDF files that contain mixed media sizes to multiple PostScript printers/MFPs: 1) letter portrait and 2) ledger landscape. I have tested with PostScript drives to Ricoh, Kyocera, and Xerox systems with all 3 producing the same result (when printing via PCL driver, everything works correctly). The basic issue is as that while both paper sizes exit the finisher with the 11" side leading, the 11x17 pages are upside down (i.e. rotated 180 degrees) when compared to the letter sized pages. This makes it impossible to staple or hole punch the document in-line since all 11x17 pages must be manually rotated.
To take it a step further, I also have Fiery controller based printers where the very same job yields the correct result (tested Ricoh & Xerox). Upon exploring the PPD file, I can see specialized code in the Fiery to rotate pages larger than letter sized, but I cannot figure out how to modify my non-Fiery PPD files to correct the issue.
I have also tested with just a Word doc and the same issue occurs. My gut is that there is something in the PostScript definition that needs to be modified, but I cannot figure it out.
