I have installed a2ps 4.13 from the contribs of Mandrake and I have
entered the following command lines:
a2ps -1 -MA4 ~/.Xdefaults
and
a2ps -MA4 ~/.Xdefaults
In both cases I got a printout with correct borders on my HP LaserJet
1100 (uses the "ljet4" driver of GhostScript). The default page size I
have set to A4 before sending the commands (I am using A4 paper).
For letter paper "-MLetter" should be used and letter as default paper
size in CUPS.
I have tried also the GIMP-Print "stp" driver of GhostScript (entry "HP
Laserjet 6 (GIMP-Print)" in CUPS installation frontends). Here indeed
some part at the lower end of the paper was cut away. They had some
problems with the paper size settings. So report the bug to
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/
the GIMP-Print version is 4.0b2 from Mandrake 7.2. Use a driver entry in
the CUPS installation programs without the "(GIMP-Print)" mark.
