My Nec LC890 postscript printer permits the selection of legal, letter,
a4 or b5 sized paper. In addtion, it allows the selection of one of two
print trays. I can select either paper tray, however I cannot get the
printer to print over the entire 8.5x14 area of the legal paper. I am
restricted to the 8.5x11 area if I try with:

              statusdict begin 2 setpapertray end
              legal
                        
If I try:     statusdict begin legaltray end

the printer hangs, without printing, until timeout.

After reading the Nec TechRef manual, I think either of the above
should work!!!

What is the proper way to access alternate paper sizes, possibly
in an alternate tray?

Where can I get the "printer defintion file" for the LC890???

Thankyou.....   tony..
