Hi,

I have a problem with my printer (HP Dj690c). I can print ps files, but
i always lost the first 7-10 mm on the paper (in landscape mode). I use
lpd on slack 9.1.

any ideas, what's going wrong?

tia,
schamil

I use a2ps, and there is a special setting for hp deskjets which
need "wider medium".

This may vary for you, but I have:
In /etc/a2ps-site.cfg:

Options: --medium=Letterdj


and in
/etc/a2ps.cfg :

# Desk Jet users: bigger margins
Medium: A4dj 595 842 24 50 571 818
Medium: Letterdj 612 792 24 40 588 768


You can also do a groups.google search for "deskjet a2ps medium "
