bug#21741: 24.5; default printer page size can not be changed

[Emilio Sovero]

The 

/PrintPageWidth 498.6141732283465 def

Dimensions are in points.

I will dig into the Postscript code this week.

The problem for me is that at work we have a Large shared printer server that if the job asks for a paper size it does not have (A4), the only option the printer offers me is to load the missing paper size (which is not practical). There is not way (that I know) to override it and print on a letter sized paper.

At home I have two printers HP2605dn that has a similar message but allows me override the paper size, and a Brother MFC7860DW that prints without problem 

Thanks for the help. I hope I am not causing too much distraction for you.

Which bit of this is supposed to be A4?
