I am trying to print pages on legal size paper using a manual feed-
how do I tell the printer that the page length so that the bottom
isn't cut off?

Of course, if I was in Edit, WN, FrameMaker, etc. I would just call
up "PageLayout" and set the parameters. But if I create a page (say
in emacs of either PS or just text) how do I do this? I have checked
all the docs I can think of including DL and man--Does this relate
to an earlier thread on finding the parameters controlled by 'dwrite'?

Do I need to write a special printcap entry to handle these cases? 
There must be an easy way I'm missing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
