... the whole trouble seems to have been Mozilla related:
to make it a bit clearer: I wanted to print a HTML page that was
changed by Mozilla to a .ps file. I printed this .ps file after
loading it into ghostview.
The software I was torturing:
Mozilla1.2b, 20021101 (probably one of the latest builds)
ghostscript-5.10-6 incl.the patch probably from:
http://www.typhoon.dircon.co.uk/html/ghostscript.html
Printing is done on an Epson Stylus 640
The problem *seems* to be that ghostscript (or whatever software is
responsible for this printing) does not seem to print to the last 0.34
inches or so of a letter sized (8.5 x 11 inches) piece of paper, no
matter what I changed in the Mozilla settings ... which perhaps is the
reason for a bit too less space on top and too much of it at the
bottom of the printouts at times, or simply for varying sizes of
margins at top or bottom without actually changing anything in the
Mozilla settings ..
The printouts themselves are OK, not as nice as I wanted them to be
but I'm definitely fed up with further printing tests ...
The settings how they work:
In the Mozilla Printer properties I have the paper size now set to
"Letter" (8.5 x 11 inch) and the Gap from edge of paper to margin is
like so (inches):
left right top bottom
0.35 0.35 0.04 0.35
The Page Setup in Mozilla for printing headers and footers looks like
this here:
Margins (inches): left right top bottom
0.5 0.5 0.4 0.6
and I've chosen 1 header and 2 footers.
I'd bet there are better solutions than the ones I found .. I won't
pay you anything if you tell me how it really works ... :)
Best regards
Wolfgang
