- Exactly my point. Yes, I can type whatever I like into the New Document
- requester, but it doesn't make an ounce of difference to the way Pagestream
- prints. It will still print as if I have an A4-portrait. The print settings
- requester allows some very limited flexibility on media sizes, but not much.
-
- And there is *no* method of controlling which area of the page Pagestream
- will print in. I truly wish Pagestream had the flexibility of ProPage in
- this area. No matter how much I tweak the orientation setting, Pagestream
- does not want to print as you would expect on an envelope to my Postscript
- laser.
