In your ~/.gEDA/gschemrc file, place the following:

(paper-size 11.69 8.27) ; A4

This corresponds to a size listed in a master list, and will
automatically pick the right size in the print window.

I presume you're using File->Print to write your postscript - this is
the normal way for full page printing.


This is most useful in conjunction with an ISO A? sized title-block,
otherwise you'll get borders when printing.

I have:

(define default-titleblock "title-bordered-A2.sym")

This is the default. I personally prefer to run with gschem having a
light background:

(load (build-path geda-rc-path "gschem-lightbg")) ; light background


If you're getting the background colours in your print, you're probably
using an image export rather than "print". The default is to print black
lines on a white background, but again you can change this with your
gschemrc file.

;(output-color "disabled")
(output-color "enabled")
