hello all,

i have an epson stylus color 460 i want to use with linux.
i can print fine to it, the only problem being that the text
is cut of at the bottom. and is printed on a second sheet.

according to www.epson.ch this printer should print to
3mm of the edge of the paper, but using the testpage that
comes with apsfilter, i get borders of:
left=3, right=3, top=3, bottom=28mm

then i tried correcting the margins using the indications
in the ghostscript distributed file align.ps. after
creating file margins.ps and including it, i printed
the same testpage again and got the following margins:
left=3, right=0, top=3, bottom=32mm

the values i used in margins.ps are:
.HWMargins [8.5 90.7 0 8.5]
Margins [-2.83 498.9]

the values align.ps uses are:
L=2.55, V=4.3, T=0.3, B=3.2, L=0.3, R=0.0mm

yes i converted these to inches before computing the
margins. and the ghostscript command i used (from memory):
> gs @stc500ph.upp -sPAPERSIZE=A4 -sOutputFile=/dev/lp0 \
     /tmp/margins.ps /opt/apsfilter/setup/testpage.ps

does anyone know what i'm doing wrong? the site ww.epson.ch
says something like "druckt bis 3mm and den rand heran". of
course the printer doc tells the user how to use the windows
drivers.

thanks for any help.
