When Dvips has a paper format name given on the command line, it

If your printer has a command to set a special paper size, then give
dimensions of `0in 0in'; the PostScript code that sets the paper size
can refer to the dimensions the user requested as `hsize' and `vsize';

When using a paper size that is not already defined in `config.ps',
you probably want to say `-t unknown' on the command line; the
