You can configure ifhp to inject code at the top of your PostScript job to select
11x17 paper.
However, if your job later requests 8.5x11 paper, the printer will ask for the smaller
size. You will need to:
- reformat your document to request 11x17 paper (using the proper
printer drivers and page settings)
- write a script that will munge through PostScript jobs and remove
the statusdict commands requesting paper sizes and replace them
The later option gets ugly very fast; I highly recommend the former.
