why gswin32c does not give desired output with setpagedevice

[Guest]

hi..

am trying to set the page size of the document while printing using the following PostScript file

mark

/NoCancel      true

/OutputFile (%printer%Test)

/OutputDevice /mswinpr2

/UserSetting

<<

/DocumentName (Data)

>>

(mswinpr2) finddevice

putdeviceprops

<</PageSize[595 842]>>setpagedevice

setdevice

but it always give page as letter in output

please help me out in the process of printing a file to a desired page size with help of PostScript and gswin32c.exe

From a strictly PostScript standpoint, the only part of this code you should need is the call to setpagedevice:

     << /PageSize [ 595 842 ] >> setpagedevice

Note this should precede any PostScript that draws on the page.

Are you writing your own PostScript or modifying existing code (driver output or some such)?

Well, setpagedevice refers to the current device (which is a display device by default), and your call of the

setdevice operator, which makes the selected mswinpr2 the current device, is executed afterwards.

Exchange these lines:

<</PageSize[595 842]>>setpagedevice

setdevice
