I have a program that is required to work on two different makes of
PostScript printer with different imageable areas.  How do I write
it so that it can cope with this?

Example:

I want to draw a vertical line in the middle of the imageable area.

If I don't know what the maximum and minimum values of the x-axis are
how can I position the line in the middle of them?
