I know too little about postscript myself, but for me it would seem an obvious thing?
Hmm... As it stands, devps doesn't give a clue about the actual page output size. It would be great if devps output a BoundingBox comment and perhaps a DocumentPaperSizes comment (the latter is a level 2 feature, but groff PS doesn't support level 1 anymore, does it?). Somethng like this:
for a4: %%BoundingBox: 0 0 596 842 %%DocumentPaperSizes: a4 for US letter: %%BoundingBox: 0 0 612 792 %%DocumentPaperSizes: letter BoundingBox takes precedence.
