Hi!


We are successfully using PS-Printers by sending Jobs from SUNs vi
HELIOS-Printer-Software (AppleTalk)  to HP LJ III / QMS-Turbo
and TEK-Phaser(Color) Printers. Nearly all Programs work too...
BUT:
  SUNs own transcript Software contains 'pscat' which does PS-Output
  for troff. And this ALWAYS PRINTS about 1cm TO LOW ON THE PAGE !!!
I've seen the same Problem if someone uses 'AppleWriter' on a MAC
and prints on the QMS here !

The Problem does NOT depend of the pagesize in pscat and i fear it is
in the pscat-prologue-file (which I cannot read by not understanding
PS enough)

SO does somebody know how to adapt SUN's 'pscat' to A4 format Paper
(so that it prints 'manuals' especially 'ptroff -man .../man/man?/...')

Thanks for Replies by e-mail, yours <stucki>
