The LaTeX manual says that the responsibility for handling magnification
lies in the DVI -> yourprinterhere driver.  Fair enough.  I have Stephan
Bechtolsheim's `dvipr' shell script to print DVI files, and it can take an
X-Y offset as two options.  It uses his most recent dvi2ps, which can handle
the built-in PostScript fonts.

If one prints the sample `letter.tex' file that comes with the LaTeX
distribution, everything comes out fine, and it looks like it is formatted
for a 6.5 x 9 page.  If one invokes the post-processor with the `magstep'
option (for \magstep1, for example), it appears the upper left origin of
the page stays the same or pretty close (seems reasonable to me) to its
original point; thus at magstep1 the print creeps off the page to the bottom
and to the right.  Obviously, I'd like to be able to give it an X-Y offset
to shove the origin to the left and up, so the doc will stay on the page.
I was wondering if anyone had developed any canonical algorithms for doing
this (applicable to more than one \magstep, assuming the original font size
was sufficiently small enough for it to fit).  Thanx ...
