[Samba] PDF Samba Printer - ps2pdf Only Letter Size?

[Matthew Western]

Hi all,

I've got a nice working pdf samba printer emailing the right person thanks to PeteFwee and David F and am doing a little testing. I've just realized that it's set to Letter when it creates the .pdf file. and i've googled till i'm blue in the face and can't see any options that says page size or something similar. i'm running ghostscript 7.04. 

does anybody know how to make ps2pdf do A4 size paper?

Here's my slightly modified script so it mails the user back...

Regards

Matthew
