landscaping to expand to max

    I have a plot using x,y 0,.38 - 1,1 of 0,0 - 1,1. I tried
ctrans -d ps.land.color -w 0:.38:1:1 gmeta > ! NcUS.ps
lp -d color NcUS.ps hoping this would expand the plot into more of
the standard 8.5"x11" paper in landscape orientation. Ok, so it did cut
out that part of the plot, but merely centered it lower on the paper
without expanding it to fill more of the paper. Apparently ctrans
effectively made a new square with the cut portion now centered in it,
and the new square was made to fit within the paper. Is there a way to
expand that portion, keeping it rectangular, not forming a new square,
so that the result may then expand out to fill more of the paper?
    Is there a way to specify that while plotting, plots are to go to
some other file name than gmeta?
