I know - we get the same thing with our HP. Similarly, our xerox versetec type
with special software seems to think everything is letter size. This occurs
with several conversion programs, so it's not endemic to ps.map.

The best I have heard so far is that the postscript file is not produced with
a fixed size - I do not know if this is true.

However - I thought (am not sure) that this only occurs if the plotter is in
HPGL mode and is sent the language conversion command. Is your plotter set
to default to HGL or to postscript?
