...which is usually only the application's built-in optimistic assumtions about the imageable area of the actual printer, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=150283#c6 > They should really query the printable area and position the headers > and footers accordingly. ...which is according to my experience the currently most annoying problem of printing from applications: produce printing output which doesn't exceed the imageable area of the actual printer... > 1/8th of an inch top margin seems to catch it ...which is only a less optimistic guess but not the real imageable area of the actual printer - but with most current applications it is the best you can do: set the unprintable margins in the application sufficiently big. By the way: Since CUPS 1.2 there is a "fitplot" option, see the CUPS documentation http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/options.html "Scaling to Fit" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The -o fitplot option specifies that the document should be scaled to fit on the page: lp -o fitplot filename lpr -o fitplot filename The default is to use the size specified in the file. Note: This feature depends upon an accurate size in the print file. If no size is given in the file, the page may be scaled incorrectly! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Perhaps "-o fitplot" works for the PostScript from your application, perhaps not.
