Printer margins on an HP Laserjet 5200 is different between a PCL and PS driver
I have a user that is using Bentley Microstation and we are testing printing 11 x 17 sheets on a Laserjet 5200. The print properties within Microstation show that the PCL5e driver has a usable area of 16.6 x 10.667 while the PS driver has a usable area of 16.472 x 10.5. Microstation is taking the usable area information from the drivers, so is there a way to get the PS to match up to the PCL5e's margins, or is this a driver limitation?

If it pulls the info from the driver, it *has* to come from the PPD - that's the only place a PS driver looks for printer-specific details. The actual driver is usually PSCRIPT5.DLL and is shared by all PS printers.
