Help! I'm having trouble setting up tex to use with my printer.  My setup is
an Atari 1040ST and an Epson LQ-510 and I'm running CS-TeX 4.0.  The printer
driver I'm using is the DVI_N24 with -y=eps to set it up as and Epson LQ-850.
The problem I'm having is that when I preview a document it doesn't always 
match what I get when I print it.  I ran the testpage that was included with 
the package and set my top and left side magins that are passed to the printer
driver so that the box on the page is centered 1 inch from the edges of the 
paper like it says its supposed to be and its been working fine, up until now.

Now I am trying to print a document that uses twocolumn.sty and its definitly 
not giving me the same results when I veiw it as when I print it.  Specifically
the bottom margin is all messed up.  I've had to set the \textheight down to
8.5 to get a 1 inch bottom margin when I print, but when viewed on screen it
looks as if there should be nearly a 2 inch margin on the bottom. 

For those unfamiliar with CS-TeX its mearly a front end for TeX that allows 
you to edit, tex, makeindex, bibtex, print, and view via a graphic interface.
Underneath it all is still standard TeX, it just packages all of the pieces 
together.   I know that some of my problems may be fairly machine dependent
but any help would be greatly appreciated.  If anyone out there has any line 
on english documentation for CS-TeX that would be great also.  Thanx in 
advance.

Ray
