As the saying goes: "Garbage In, Garbage Out". If the postscript file isn't right, then you'll end up printing "correct" garbage. > > and print - > > lpr -o media=letter -#1 -P LJ1012 /var/www/test.ps -o page-top=33 -o > page-bottom=44 -o page-left=60 -o page-right=80 Perhaps a matter of preference here, but personally I'd endeavour to get the margins, page size etc correct in the post script and then just pass a whole page to the printer. In that case, use the '-g' option to barcode to size and position the barcode, then use '-p letter' to place the barcode on a full sheet. You could then just say "lpr -P LJ1012 /var/www/test.ps". > > The barcode is > upside down > not centered > at the very top and truncated > and multiple copies are printed. > > TIA > > Ethan > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST@lists.debian.org with a subject > of "unsubscribe".
