When your printer understands PostScript level 2, its also
possible to change the line

/a4 {} def

in Devs:postscript_init.ps into

/a4 { << /PageSize [ 596 842 ] >> setpagedevice } def

then it should work without the need to manually edit each
PS file.

IMHO passing the pagesize from AmiGS to GhostScript is already
done and the problem is that AmiGS has no idea about the pagesize.
To tell it about it, replace the first line of the PS file
("%!PS") with e.g.

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%DocumentMedia: a4 596 842 0 () ()
%%EndComments

and add a line

%%Page: 1 1

just before the first "newpath" line, then AmiGS will display
the width and height specified with the DocumentMedia comment
as paper size. The next version of the PostScript printer driver
will do that automatically.

Note, this fixes only the reported paper size of AmiGS,
not the wrong display of GhostScript, you also need to
apply the fix described in the previous comment for this.

ok here's one: http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/papers/sc ... sigcomm03/posterabs-a4.ps , reported as beeing 210x297 (A4) in AmiGS,printing this to a file converted it to US Letter.

I'll dig thru google and see if i can find some files that AmiGS reports as anything besides "Letter".

In theory it should be possible to define the paper size
in the output but in practice even AmiGS seems to ignore
such a definition and always shows "Letter" as paper size
here, hints how to properly define the paper size in the
output in such a way that both AmiGS and a real printer
understand it are welcome.

here's my postscript prefs:

Driver mode: Passthrough
Copies: 1
Paper format: DIN A4
Paper Width: 21,00
Paper height: 29,70
Horizontal DPI: 600
Vertical DPI: 600

----- Snip -----

Graphics:
Left edge: 0,99
Top edge: 2,99 (setting this to zero cuts the page,like it have a negative value)
Width: 20,00
Height: 26,70
Image: Positive
Shading: Grey scale
Dither: Default

--- Snip ---

Any clues?

NAME
IPREFS - To communicate Preferences information stored in the
individual editor files to the Workbench.

FORMAT
IPREFS

TEMPLATE
(none)

PATH
C:IPREFS

FUNCTION
IPREFS reads the individual system Preferences files and passes the
information to the Workbench so that it can reply accordingly. IPREFS
is generally run in the Startup-sequence after the Preferences files
are copied to ENV:. Each time a user selects Save or Use from within
an editor, IPREFS is notified and passes the information along to
Workbench. If necessary, IPREFS will reset Workbench in order to
implement those changes. If any project or tool windows are open,
IPREFS will display a requester asking you to close any non-drawer
windows.

Just seemed to me that ppl that were having a problem with IB had a G3 750GX with 512M of memory.
