I am able to insert code into the PS file that directs the ps file (on a Toshiba laser printer with a EFI front end) to a specific paper. However, it prints on the lower left edge of the paper and cuts off where the margin is. How can I center the page to fit on an 11x17 output.

FYI we are doing remote proofing from a CreoScitexBrisque and exporting to a PS file. There is NO capability for inserting paper size at this device hence the need to do it manually or via a script.
