[gs-devel] Page size parameter

[Daniel MacKay]

Howdy!

I have successfully written a driver for the AMT Datasouth 6300  
series of dot matrix printer (its emulation of other printers was  
terrible.)  It works beautifully - thank you all for your help with  
that!

And, thank you all for your help with the fonts - we're currently  
working finding a font that looks exactly like the dot matrix  
printer's default built-in font.

Now, I have discovered that my code has to handle not only 8.5 x 11  
pages, but other page sizes as well!  What's the usual way to deal  
with this?

One possibility is to code 14" into the driver, as this is the  
longest page it'll ever get. Is that the right way? Or should I try  
to pass page size parameters to gs?

Any tips would be appreciated.  Many thanks. -dan
