Working out the raw Postscript to define the bizarre page size was the
hardest part.
Isn't the print engine fundamentally limited to its fixed set of paper
sizes? This set includes several envelope sizes (3 I believe), but
don't you have to choose one of them? And what PS code are you talking
about? Can you share it? Is it Level 1 or Level 2? Did you really
define a page size that is not in the firmware? How did you do it?
If you do << /PageSize [x y] >> setpagedevice where [x y] is a paper
size not known to the firmware, won't it just barf on you? (Supposed
to throw a configurationerror.) Or was it PS Level 1 and you did it
by dinking with some undocumented statusdict stuff? If the latter,
my interest is piqued and I'd love to learn more.
