I have been bitten by this several times already. From what I understood, the 'paper' argument just specifies the size of the sheet on which a device of size 'width'x'height' is printed. The only relations between the paper argument and the device size arguments are: - when using the default size "special" - when the device size is > paper size, in which case the device is resized to fit on the paper sheet I would also like the device to take the full sheet when using the paper argument, unless overridden by specific width and height arguments.
