I am trying to print my Latex files using teTeX (dvips) and ghostscript
on a deskjet 540.  I set up the psjetfilter that came with slackware and
it works ok.  The only problem is that I cannot print the bottom 1.25
inches of my document.  I used the print testpage option of texconfig and
the bottom 1.25 inches is again missing, even after I changed the printing
offsets.  I suspect the problem is with ghostscript, since xdvi shows my
documents with the bottom margin correct.  The ghostscript documentation
briefly discusses the colour deskjet driver and says the default margins
are wrong, but it does not tell how to fix them.

Does anyone know how to change the bottom margin of ghostscript, since it
appears to have the wrong default with --device=deskjet ?  If the problem
lies elsewhere, has anyone had similar problems and knows how to fix it?

Thanks,
       Daniel.
