I have an 895c and use the hpdj driver in gs-aladdin, which uses a lot less ink than hp550c which I believe is the "traditional" deskjet driver. > When printing with a2ps the first two columns of the let page (2 pages on > one paper standard setting) are missing.

I don't know how to integrate this into /etc/papersize, but then I always use a2ps through wrapper functions in .bashrc as there are far too many switches to remember my preferences.
