Alberto,
Check the printer type of page setup (Printer Decription).
Some paper sizes are defined by their drivers for instance:
"Generic Color"
Change your printer description in page setup to (Acrobat Distiller if you
have it) or something else and save your settings. try your script again. I
think you will be happy with the result.
also you can change your printer description with applescript but you have
to use [printer type] for the syntax.
example:
set printer type of print setup to "Acrobat Distiller"
if you will be doing something like this, it would be best to set printer
type first then paper size. Quark has a wierd way of reverting to defaults
for different printer types.
Hope that helps.
