I have an Epson 880 on my windows workstation. I have this shared
through cups using samba. This configuration works fine. I can print to
the printer without any issues.
The problem is that when I lp something the left margin is always cuts
off the first character.
Now I have found a work around using -o page-left=25.
Example
----
man tar | lp -dpkraus -o page-left=25
This corrects the issue. However I would like it to do this
automatically.
I have tried to edit the smb.conf file with the print command but it
does not seem to change anything. Here is my smb.conf
*On a side note why can't I open Linux conf files with notepad? There
are strange characters. I have to open it with WordPad. I can not save
or edit using either notepad or WordPad because they seem to add strange
characters also. Just curious.*
