NSPrintInfo will not accept paper format wider than high?

Hi all,

From a Cocoa application I need to print to a RIP that expects

	NSPaperSize = NSSize: {2088, 1570.5};
	NSOrientation = 0;

Note how the paper size is wider than it is high.

When I use:

	NSPrintOperation	*op=[NSPrintOperation printOperationWithView:self];
	NSPrintInfo		*printInfo=[op printInfo];
	
	[printInfo setPaperSize:NSMakeSize(2088, 1570.5)];
	[printInfo setOrientation:NSPortraitOrientation];
	
I end up with:

	NSOrientation = 0;
   	NSPaperSize = NSSize: {1570.5, 2088};

Note how it swapped width and height.

OK, so NSPrintInfo documentation for "setPaperSize:" claims:

This method may change either the paper name or orientation for consistency.
To avoid this side effect set the values in the dictionary directly.

Fine, so I try:

[[printInfo dictionary]setObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:NSPortraitOrientation] forKey:NSPrintOrientation];
[[printInfo dictionary]setObject:[NSValue valueWithSize:NSMakeSize(2088, 1570.5)] forKey:NSPrintPaperSize];

But still:

	NSOrientation = 0;
	NSPaperSize = NSSize: {1570.5, 2088};

Presumably that is a bug, I filed a report.

But I still need that elusive

	NSPaperSize = NSSize: {2088, 1570.5};
	NSOrientation = 0;
	
Any idea what to do?

Thanks

Gerd
