RE: [TCLUG:11173] PostScript Question...

[psp@printwareinc.com (Phil Plumbo)]

There is a device-dependent level 1 PS op that will do this: setpageparams.
It may or may not be supported by your interpreter, but give it a shot:

   statusdict begin 792 612 0 1 setpageparams end

will set the image region to 11 x 8.5 inches (72 points/inch) . The 4th arg
(0/1) controls landscape/portrait orientation. 

Note that if you're putting this into PS created by some driver, your device
coordinate system may have been changed from the native 72 point/inch, and
also that this operator could be overridden or otherwise nullified by later
code. PostScript written by a driver is not intended to be clear (that's an
understatement) so it's often hard to tell.
