[Originally reported to Sun as Solaris bug id #4704388.]

xpr was hard-coded to know about 8.5x11 paper only.

Many users outside the US need to use other page sizes such as A3 & A4.

For instance, when trying to print the screen image to the A3 paper, 
the window image isn't printed at the center of the paper.
(it's on the bottom-right corner)

After install A3 size paper into the printer, please perform.

  % xwd -root | xpr | lp -d <pronter-name>
  % xwd -root | xpr -height 8 -width 10.5 | lp -d <printer-name>

Then, you will get the paper from the printer like:

 +-------------------------------+ A3 size paper
 |                               |
 |                               |
 |                               |
 |                  +----------+ |
 |                  | screen   | |
 |                  |  image   | |
 |                  +----------+ |
 +-------------------------------+
