We have a problem with an Apple LaserWriter which may be PostScript-related.
I tried to post the question earlier, but (a) it may not have made it to the
net, or (b), I may not have been as polite when I asked it as  should have.
If the latter, I apologise; I was annoyed, because I wanted at least to have
looked in the Reference Manual before posting, and the library copy here
appeats to be unavailable.

The basic symptom is that when we use 'enscript -2r -f Helvetica8 -B', for
example, to produce a condensed page of a text file, the characters on the
left (or top, if it were portrait) are being clipped. We are using Transcript
software on Sun 3's; I have tried using the setmargins scripts which came with
the software, but they simply move the problem. It has occurred to me that,
possibly, there is an EEROM setting which needs to be re-initialised (the
printer is a reconditioned one, recently acquired).

Advice, even to tell me that I'm barking up the wrong tree, would be welcome.

Thanks,

C Spencer
