Description Peter Berndts 2009-06-11 10:48:54 UTC 
Though there are PCL printing systems with paper trays that can handle A5 
paper size, the PCL driver can not handle size A5, which is a "known paper 
size". 
The following command line, with an A5 size PDF as input, creates a C5 size 
PCL output:
gswin32 -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=ljet4d  -sPAPERSIZE=a5 -dNORANGEPAGESIZE -
sOutputFile=test.pcl -c "<< /InputAttributes << 0 << /PageSize [ 420 595 ] >> 
>> >> setpagedevice " -f test.pdf

The following line needs to be added in gdevpcl.c
CHECK_PAPER_SIZE( 5.83, 8.27,  PAPER_SIZE_A5);

The following line needs to be added in gdevpcl.h
#define PAPER_SIZE_A5 25	/* 14.8 cm x 21.0 cm */
