Hi Piet,You could try to set `ps-lpr-switches' variable to force the printer to use A4, if the printer supports A4.
The CUPS Software Users Manual <http://www.cups.org/doc-1.1/sum.html> says that to set the media size, type and/or source you have to use the option "-o media=X" where X is the media size, as in the command line:
lp -o media=Letter filename lp -o media=A4 filename lpr -o media=Letter filename lpr -o media=A4 filename So, you could try to set in your ~/.emacs (or equivalent in Mac OS X): (setq ps-lpr-switches '("-o media=A4")) Regards, Vinicius Piet van Oostrum wrote:
I am using Emacs 22.0.90 (less than a week old) on Mac OS X 10.4.8. I had problems printing on A4 paper with Postscript Print Buffer (ps-print-buffer-with-faces). I have ps-paper-type set to a4 and the resulting Postscript contains: %%DocumentMedia: A4 595 842 0 () () and %%PageMedia: A4 Nevertheless the printer requests letter size paper and when I force it to use A4, the top op the text is chopped off. It seems that CUPS is not honoring the %%DocumentMedia and %%PageMedia comments. Is this normal? Or is this a macosx specific problem? For the time being I solved it by the using lpoptions command to make A4 the default, however this would make it impossible to use other formats, e.g. photo's I presume. Is the same problem appearing on other systems that use CUPS?
