I handle this a little differently. I use device coordinates to set
everything up.

In the following example, plot the contour of IMAGE(INX,INY).

----- start
set_plot,'PS'

; set the orientation dependent on x and y box sizes
if iny ge inx then begin ; use portrait mode
x = inx/float(iny) * 8.0
device,/inch,xsize=x,ysize=8.0,bits_per_pixel=8,xoffset=(8.5 -x)/2., $
yoffset=1.5,/color,filename = file
endif else begin ; use landscape mode
y = iny/float(inx) * 8.0
device,/inch,xsize=8.0,ysize=y,bits_per_pixel=8,yoffset=9.5, $
xoffset=(8.5-y)/2.,/color,filename = file,/landscape
endelse

!p.thick=2
!p.position=[0,0,1,1]

; now plot the contour
contour,image,/noerase,xstyle=5,ystyle=5,position=[0,0,1,1], /normal

device, /close
----- end

This works with our Tektronics Phaser color printer.

Good Luck,
