I can't figure out how to get a 3x5 inch option in CentOS's

Print to a 3x5 part of an 8.5x11 sheet.
That would be good, but the document I want to print isn't
something I can change margins on. I'm trying to print to-do lists
from http://simplegtd.com straight from Firefox onto cards.
Can you print to a file? This should give you a PostScript file that
can be edited by the text editor of your choice to translate and
rotate as needed to fit on the 8.5x11 sheet in the place that the 3x5
card would be when it is run through the printer.
Aha, looks like that could be the ticket. I just printed to a .ps file,
then fed the .ps to lp and got the doc printed (with large portions
chopped off, of course) on a card.
Now I just need to learn more about PostScript, and which portions of
the file to change so that I can reformat the document properly.
Is there any way to trigger a script just by placing a document into a
folder? i.e. Can I print to a file and, by virtue of saving it into a
certain "watched" directory, have the new file's path passed as an
argument to a script?
(I'm starting to think that this wasn't such a newbie-ish question after
all...)
