No, and besides, I don't want the whole page scaled. I want the
text to stay the same size, just to reflow margins so it fits on
the card.
Reflow margins is beyond the capability of simple programs.
Including PostScript in its usual usage.
How does "simplegtd" know what size printer you have?
It doesn't; it's just a Web page. I'm printing from Firefox.
I don't think it can get any feedback from printer properties that
you set on your system.
In the Print dialog, I can click "Properties" and get a drop-down of
page sizes. This is the list to which I originally wanted to add '3x5
card,' so that the printer driver would format the page and render the
smaller size automatically.
PostScript is a computer language that as a side effect puts images
onto a piece of paper. Normally all of the page formatting (handling
line lengths etc.) is done in some other program.
And I knew that, too... I just misread your "script the transformation"
email and ran down the wrong path with it.
I guess I'm back to the original question (though a bit more refined):
How can I get Firefox, or the printer driver, to render a printed page
with 3x5 dimensions?
