Question on LaserWriter Resources

I would like to modify the LaserWriter software's printing
resources to handle 11 x 17 inch paper.  I know the LaserWriter itself
cannot handle this size of paper, but I want to be able to use the
LaserWriter driver to generate a PostScript file of an 11 x 17 picture.
I successfully modified the Imagewriter's resources using the procedure 
described on page 58 of the January 1986 MacWorld, but can't find a 
similar format in the LaserWriter's resources.  Can someone explain 
the structure of these resources to me so that I may customize the paper sizes?

thanks,
keith pratt
