I tried what you suggested but I can only print out the items on the top left corner and loose everything below them which are my 3 last items. How come it works for you and not for me?
Maybe it's a problem of my printer, I'm not sure.
Another point is the max height here is 1353 which is larger than my screen (8 i ~ 764 pixels) I suppose, so I think the pageheight option doesn't do its job to scale everything in my screen. That maybe explains why it doesn't work.
I think of using a loop to split my canvas into multiple parts and dump them out accordingly like this :
for (my $i='1'; $i<$maxheight; $i+=850){
        ++$currentPage;print "$currentPage\n";
        $canvas->postscript('-x'=>'0',
                            '-y'=>$i,
                            -width=>$maxwidth,
                            -height=>850,
                            -colormode=>'color',
                            -file=>"$i.ps", -pageanchor=>'n',
                            -pageheight=>'10.5 i');
    system("lpr -S ilfpsc6vs01 -P nw1h305c $i.ps") == 0 or die $!;
    }

What do you think?
I know it seems goofy. The problem is I have to pipe every single ps file to the printer. I hope there might have a way to do this better.
