a4paper: Random Margins?
Hi, I've been using a4wide, which seems to behave reasonably with a4 paper, but now I am trying to get border correction (so that the inner margin is wider than the outer) Thus I tried using the line \usepackage[a4paper,top=2cm,bottom=2cm,inner=2.5cm,outer=2cm]{geometry} This gets the border correction to work, but the top and bottom margins are wrong. Although I set a top bottom margin of 2cm the header is only 3mm from the top and the page number touches the lower edge of the page. I can correct this by adding another 2cm to the top and bottom margin. However the page prints differently with different printers --- on the HP-Laserjet4L it prints 1 or 2cm higher on the page than with the university printers.
