I've been getting mixed results with Quark 5 and setting print setup. Things
that worked perfectly in Quark 3.32 seem to cause intermitten errors in 5.
Sometimes a reboot is necessary and then the code suddenly works. Because
we kind of skipped over a Quark 4 upgrade, I haven't tried to fight too much
with its nuances of how to script things. I'm heading off to another of site
next week to implement some workflow/Quark scripting solutions and they use
Quark 4 so I'm sure I'm going to get a dose of the same problem.
What PPD are you using? You might need to set that before the paper width
and paper size as some PPD's, like the Generic ones, don't allow size
changes.

I tried that. The script errored on that line (set paper size to

I then got the result I wanted. Unfortunately, it's not nearly as flexible

as the Quark 3.32 version, because it has to be a set size.
