Yes. I have my /etc/papersize set and from /etc/cups/pdftops.conf (wich is lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2005-08-01 13:16 pdftops.conf -> ../xpdf/xpdfrc):
# Set the default PostScript paper size -- this can be letter, legal, # A4, or A3. You can also specify a paper size as width and height # (in points). Xpdf uses the paper size in /etc/papersize by default. psPaperSize match > > It assumes that you always want to target your default paper size unless > you say otherwise, rather than always converting an A5-size PDF to A5 > paper, for example.

No. There are several papersizes available to pdftops and in the case of the .pdf files indicated, every paper is printed in A4 page in the printer. You can set the paperh and paperh in ps points (for a5 this is 420 and 595) with an arbitrary pair of values and always the printer page will got the .ps printed in a centerd A4, as: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ pdftops -paperh 200 -paperw 100 /tmp/ot.pdf a.ps [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lp a.ps produces a smaller ps centered in an a4 page at the printer. So pdftops understands this switches, but the printout is still wrong. I think the output is in A4 because the output is actually centered in an A4 sheet. Ditto, changes in /etc/papersize or /etc/xpdf/xpdfrc don't affect the printed output. -- Fernando M.
