I am trying to figure out how to tell an L300 to print an
8.5 x 14 image; it defaults to 8.5 x 11 even though the paper
is 12" wide in a roll.

Further, I would like to find the commands to do this for
a general postscript device so that I can test it on my
laserwriter before blowing $5 to test it and find that it
didn't work (again!).

I have been told that the following should work:

statusdict begin

8 inch  14 inch  0  setpage

end


This does not work on my laserwriter, which complains about
setpage.  Could someone out there is postscript tell me the proper
way to do what I want to do?  It seems like it should be easy
but I can't find it anywhere.

Thanks in advance,
