Help: 3.0 to 3.1r1 upgrade, printing broken (wrong paper size?)
I just upgraded to 3.1r1 from 3.0 and printing is broken. It looks like the wrong paper
size is selected because printouts (and PS images made from ghostscript) run up over the
top margin.According to /etc/papersize, I'm still using letter.
I'm not using CUPS, although Xprint was installed in the upgrade. I've fooled with the
files in /etc/Xprint to no avail.
I have a LaserJet 4M+ attached directly via parallel port and printing has always been a
matter of sending a PS file to lpr. Now when I do that in Mozilla, the margins are way off
and the image bleeds off the top of the page.
Even converting files has this problem. I tried converting a PPM to PS with "convert" and
the resultant image has "BBox" as paper size in gv, not letter. When I select "letter" I
get the same bleed off the top of the page in the image.
When I use gs to combine several of these ps images (so that I can convert the big ps
image into PDF), the new image goes up off the top margin, too.
I hope this is just a simple FAQ but in hours of searching I've found nothing. Please
help!
