The 
/PrintPageWidth 498.6141732283465 def
Dimensions are in points.

I will dig into the Postscript code this week.
The problem for me is that at work we have a Large shared printer server that if the job asks for a paper size it does not have (A4), the only option the printer offers me is to load the missing paper size (which is not practical). There is not way (that I know) to override it and print on a letter sized paper.
At home I have two printers HP2605dn that has a similar message but allows me override the paper size, and a Brother MFC7860DW that prints without problem 

Thanks for the help. I hope I am not causing too much distraction for you.

But if you read the test.ps file the margins are set for the A4 paper
size. See the fragment below.

Which bit of this is supposed to be A4?
