Here is the laser paragraph from the Usage section of my User Guide All of those command line examples in this section assume the default paper size. If one wants this to be a specific size, say A4, then the two options -dpaper=a4 and -P-pa4 should be passed to t

When using the -dpaper=a4 option to 'groff' (which is passed to 'gtroff'), the manual says to use '-P-pa4' also (which is passed to the backend). Does 'gtroff' not pass enough papersize information down its pipeline to the backend to make that '-P-pa4' redundant? Thanks - Damian
