The question was asked how to get a postscript printer to print on
that last quarter-inch of paper out by the edges.  Someone suggested
getting an A4 sized paper tray, and using tape to fool the sensors
into thinking there is actually A4 sized paper instead of 8.5x11 paper
in the try.

Beware, this could damage your printer.  

If you've ever had something offset printed that needed ink out to the
edges, you've discovered that they charge quite a bit more.  This is
because they must print it on larger paper and cut it down after it is
printed.  The same thing applies to a laser printer.  Actually print
it on larger paper, then use a paper cutter on it.

If you don't do it this way, the printer will be depositing {ink,
toner} in places in the printer that shouldn't get any, and may
eventually cause damage.  Just a few sheets printed this way will
probably look OK, but don't keep doing it, unless you intend to
perform the periodic maintenance on your printer much more often than
it normally needs.  And there may be more lasting problems.
