Paper Size Paper size selection is supported by using the –Q flag of the qprt
command. The first five paper sizes are also numbered for backward
compatibility. Whenever an invalid value for the input source is
selected, it will be ignored.
The default for –O is 3 or paper. The default for –Q is 1 or Letter for
paper sizes and Monarch for envelope sizes.
