When you do 2-up, the upstream ps2ps or such is re-formatting the page
and must be
placing all printable data inside the physical constraints.
To keep 1/8 inch top and bottom margin and still print on both sides,
you would have to
do manul duplexing. From your app, select print odd pages only, reload
the paper with the
printed side up and top of the page towards the printer and print even
pages.

Subject: [Hplip-help] Another margin question

<quoted from another thread>
When automatic double-sided printing is enabled, both top and bottom
margins are set to 0.5 in.
The auto duplexing hardware requires a 0.5 in bottom margin. The top
side of front page becomes bottom side on the back page (the duplexer
rotates page 180 degrees), so, we set both margins to 0.5 in.

My last printer was a 990CXi (now sem-retired), which couldn't print
closer then 0.5" anyway, so I used to use that as default.  However,
when printing a web page I like to keep the url and date, etc., showing
in headers and footers.  Using 2-up, even duplexed, I had no problems
whatsoever, yet for full-page, (duplex set as default) I never could
achieve it, no matter what margins I set.

Any recommendations?
