printout being chopped off...
Hi,
I have an Epson Color Stylus 640. When I print 2-uped pages, a bit of the
page (on the left hand side) gets chopped off. I am printing to 'letter'
paper.
Here is what I tried:
* Installed slink's lprng, gs (not gs-alladin), enscript, psutils and
magicfilter.
* Ran /usr/sbin/magicfilterconfig and chose stylus800, stylus_color_360dpi
and stylus_color_720dpi as filters.
* When I print from Netscape Communicator using lpr -Pprinter_name, the
output is fine.
* When I try to use print from Netscape Communicator using 'psnup -c
-Pletter -n 2 | lpr -Pprinter_name' I see that a little bit (about 2
characters) gets chopped off on the left hand side (when seen
length-wise). It is not that the printed area "bleeds" off the end of the
paper. There is a definite non-printable border. It is at the edge of the
border and the printable area that the "bleed" occurs.
* Tried printing from command line using 'enscript -2r -G -Mletter
-Pprinter_name foo.txt'. Same problem.
* Installed lprng, enscript and psutils from slink. Installed gs-aladdin
and apsfilter from potato.
* Configured apsfilter for uniprint driver for Epson Color Stylus 600.
* Tried printing with psnup and enscript. Same problem as before.
I guess I need to somehow change the "printable area" parameter for
papersize letter. How do I do this in a system-wide way?
Thanks.
Thaths
