Something like this works for me:

%!PS
%%PageBoundingBox: 0 0 842 1190
%%Orientation: Landscape
%%DocumentPaperSizes: a3
%%PaperSize: a3
%%BeginPaperSize:  a3
/setpagedevice where {
pop 1 dict dup /PageSize [  842 1190  ] put setpagedevice
} {
statusdict /a3tray known {
statusdict begin a3tray end
/a3 where { pop a3 } if
} {
/a3 where {
pop a3
} {
statusdict /setpage known {
statusdict begin
842 1190 0 setpage
end
} if
} ifelse
} ifelse
} ifelse
%%EndPaperSize
