I would like to print on legal size (8.5x14) paper from the manual feed
slot on an Apple LaserWriter NTX.  The printer is connected to the serial
port on a Sun 3.  When my print job starts, the printer accepts the paper
I offer it and prints only the first 11 inches worth.  At that point,
the paper stops advancing through the printer, and the printer complains of
a paper jam.  I have access to the postscript file that is sent.  Am
I supposed to insert some magic code in the statusdict telling the printer
to assume the legal paper size?  Please help me.

Thanks in advance,
