I'm using CUPS in FC6.<br><br>Since upgrading from Fedora Core 4 to Fedora
Core 6, I've<br>noticed that the top and bottom margins for printing to<br>both of my printers (Okidata 610e/S, HP DeskJet 5550) are<br>set to 0.75" top and 1.5" bottom. It used to be 0.5" for<br>both before. The strange thing is it only seems to affect<br>printing PostScript and PDF files from gv and Acrobat<br>Reader, resp. When I print a test page via the CUPS admin<br>web interface the margins are fine. I've tried changing<br>the margins both in the CUPS web interface and in the<br>system-config-printer utility in FC6, to no avail.<br><br>This is a problem since my PostScript files created by<br>cdlabelgen are getting cut off when printing from gv.<br>I've gotten around this by passing page-top and<br>page-bottom settings to lp's -o option, but it's a pain<br>to have to type all that in every time I want to print<br>(e.g. lp -d okidata -o page-top=18 -o page-bottom=18,<br>to get 0.5" top and bottom margins).<br><br>I'm not sure if this is a CUPS issue or a
ghostscript<br>issue, but a simple fix either way would be nice.<br><br>Michael<br>_______________________________________________<br>mdlug mailing list<br>mdlug@mdlug.org<br><a target="_blank" href="http://mdlug.org/mailman/listinfo/mdlug">http://mdlug.org/mailman/listinfo/mdlug</a><br></div></div><br></div></div></body></html>
