       Can you suggest a postscript driver that is very, very lenient 
in it's device constraints.
       In particular, I have a need to print a document to PDF 
(eventually) for a client, which is 270mm wide by 7600mm high. And it 
needs to be on one page. The PS to PDF conversion I can happily do 
with something like GhostScript (I've actually paid for my own copy. 
Personally! Which I occasionally use at work.), but the only PS 
printer driver that we have at work come against a limit of 5080mm 
(working from memory - at home just now) in either direction.
