The size *isn't* displayed when I click on 'Print', I just get a
pop-up box saying "Print: Enter a command that will read a PostScript
file from stdin and print it to the desired printer.", plus a few more
bits and pieces, a text entry field with "lpr" in it and "Color",
"Grayscale", "B/W" and "Cancel" buttons at the bottom.

Is it related to the printer driver rather than xv maybe?
