Hi,

Does anyone know the command to send to a LaserWriter printer (across the
serial port) to set the image region to legal size (8 and 1/2 by 14 inches).
I am using troff with the Transcript 2.0 software (ptroff, pscat).
All the documentation I have pertains to an Apple PC where you open a window
and click a mouse. I am running the printer off the serial port of a Sun
Workstation so I need an Apple Postscript type command(s) to do the page
setup. Since I do not read news too often, please reply directly to
hager@math.ufl.edu.  

Thanks in advance,
Bill Hager <hager@math.ufl.edu>
