I am a new user of LaTeX and have recently completed a simple document
using the "article" style file.  I have recently started using the
"ucthesis" style file and I have a few questions about the top and bottom
margins.  For the ucthesis style file, the documentation indicated them top
and bottom margins were both 1 inch and I assume similar margins for the
article style file.  However, when I print the document(s) on an HP Laserjet
2P printer in either PCL mode or with a PostScript cartridge, the top and
bottom margins are nowhere near 1 inch and are around 2 inches.  I have
several questions:
1.)  What is causing this margin problem?
2.)  How can I find out where the margins are set for a particular style
file?
3.)  How can I set the margins to what I want?

Both documents are double spaced, but I don't think that should have any
effect on the margin settings.  Any information on this anomaly would be
appreciated.  Thanks.
