I think I've concluded that defining a custom paper size is just
plain busted in Open Office. I see lots of existing reports of
people having problems trying to define sizes for non-standard
envelopes and wot-not. Anyway, anyone interested in my complete

I got it to print quite well, but I'm still seeking a way
to make the tweaks universal by having them in the .ppd
file for the printer.
