Dear List -

First of all, try viewing 'test.ps' using ghostview or some other
postscript viewer. As the saying goes: Garbage In, Garbage Out. If the
postscript file isn't right, then you'll end up printing correct
garbage.
and print -
lpr -o media=letter -#1 -P LJ1012 /var/www/test.ps -o page-top=33 -o
page-bottom=44 -o page-left=60 -o page-right=80
Perhaps a matter of preference here, but personally I'd endeavour to get
the margins, page size etc correct in the post script and then just pass
a whole page to the printer. In that case, use the '-g' option to
barcode to size and position the barcode, then use '-p letter' to place
the barcode on a full sheet. You could then just say lpr -P LJ1012
/var/www/test.ps.
The barcode is
upside down
not centered
at the very top and truncated
and multiple copies are printed.

Yes. Your Postscript says to use an 8.5x11 page and then to draw the
barcode at the bottom left of that. If you save this to a file and view
it with evince, ghostview or whatever, you'll see that.
So, what you're trying to do is place an 8.5x11 page at the bottom/top
of a letter sheet. That's not really going to move the contents of the
page.
So, either print the barcode to a smaller sheet (so your postscript page
is smaller) and then locate that on your sheet of letter paper, or keep
the postscript page the same as your target, and locate the barcode
elsewhere in that.

TIA Ethan Have you ever read the story of Sysiphos? Linux printing is similar. You will be digging trough several layers of abstractions. After finally having had a good look at cups low level driver interface you will find out that it's the printer driver that's at fault. You will notice that the driver is either closed source nad you have no chance of changing what's wrong, or you'll be looking at the drivers code but not be able to fix it, because you do not know your printers non-postscript internal communications protocol. And there's no way to find out. By the way you get there, you'll have wasted several weeks/months understanding all those shell scripts and conversions and the internals of the postscript interpreter(not that it would help you with the problem). Then, you'll go in full denial about your fruitless exploits. After a week you'll think it would be a fine Idea to print those barcodes(or some other documents) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

If this is not a concern, please pass this on to your professional counterparts that could use these timesaving symbol fonts. If this does concern you, please read on; Most managers do not realize that college and university graduates in the quality or engineering fields do not receive formal GDT training as part of their educational program. This is alarming since these people are hired into design, manufacturing or quality control/assurance positions which all require reading drawings and properly interpreting all requirements. Now these symbols are available in a font with an easy to read wall chart that depicts the symbol, its name/meaning and where to find detailed reference to its use. We provide Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GDT per ASME Y 14.5 [formerly ANSI] symbols), Statistical Process Control (SPC), Feature Control Frame, General Blueprint/Inspection symbols and Barcode (Logmar) fonts that appear in Word, Excel, CAD, Autocad, Pro/E, Solidworks, Autocad LT, Corel Draw® or Word Perfect® drop down lists that have all the versatility of other system fonts.
