I just got a new printer that prints from a 17" roll media.  How do I set up my print in Illustrator?

    The printer driver will give you the page layout.  What I recommend is setting up your ( print ) file to the page layout ( i.e., 17" x ? and place all of your files onto that and print multi-up.  Otherwise you risk wasting a lot of paper.  Read the printer manual.  Do you have a RIP?

    Yes. I just installed Accurip and set the media to custom and 17".
