The patch to postscript_init.ps only affects new output
created with the OS4 PostScript printer driver. It doesnt
affect existing PostScript files and it doesnt affect new
PostScript output created with GhostScript.

When it uses 3.0 features those are not understand by software
which understands 2.0 only.

AmiGS is not a PostScript interpreter. It needs comments
in PS files to be able to tell the user which paper size
is used. The first file contains such a comment,

Quote:

You can change that to "a3" just to prove that its no problem
to fool AmiGS, a real PostScript printer cant be fooled like
that IMHO.

The second file was created by GhostScript and doesnt
contain any comment about the paper size which would be
understood by AmiGS ergo it tells you the default paper
size which is US Letter.

A 3.0 compatible paper size comment would e.g. look like

Quote:

However, all those comments are comments only and dont affect
the real paper size in any way. The real paper size as used
by the builtin GhostScript PostScript printer driver can
AFAIK e.g. be modified by editing
GHOSTSCRIPT:data/8.54/lib/gs_init.ps, line 75:

Quote:

Removing the percent sign at the start of the line should
tell GhostScript that it shall assume a4, not letter, as
default paper size.

When you want that something is changed in AmiGS or GhostScript,
please report it to its author, I dont have access to the sourcecode.

To try this out I thought I would print to a file. But how?

I can't fond an option to 'print' to a file using the postscript printer. The printfiles in the utilities drawer doesn't sem to do anything, and the only other option is a 'file' WB printer, but then it is not using the postscript printer driver.

Quote:

The PrintFiles utility prints existing files. When you call
it from WB, you have to select the to-be-printed files
with Shift-Click first and then call it via Shift-DoubleClick.

The "File" WB printer driver is a graphics-only printer
driver which "prints" into IFF pictures.

To print into a file, select printtofile.device as printer
port device in the Printer prefs editor.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
