Print PS file in 11x17

Is there a way to specify the size of the paper and orientation when writing to a PS file? I use a Universal PS driver to convert a word document to PS file. 
Thanks,

Well, I use the Universal because I can print to any printer.

You've identified the flaw in your choice. The so called "Generic"
(not universal) driver has NO features. That is the only way it can
promise to print to a wide range of printers.

How could a generic driver offer 11 x 17 when some printers don't
support this size...?

If you want to print to an actual printer, use the actual driver.
That's what it's for, though many people don't like the idea that
PostScript is not generic.
