  There is a command called papertray.  Look in the suppliment for your
laserprinter.  It is generaly found in the back of the manuage.  There is
generaly a command called    legal   or    letter that sets the imageable
size of the paper.  by sending the command   legal, the printer will image on
a legal piece of paper.  Settray is diffrent on diffrent printers, but in
general it selects a paper try of a given size.  Again, you will have to look
in the suppliment section of the manual for your particular printer.
