I have been having trouble getting some postscript documents that print
correctly on an Apple Laserwriter to print on an HP Laserjet+ using
gs 2.5.2.  I have tracked down the source of the problem to the following
line:

	clippath pathbbox

This returns a box that is 11" by 8.5", and does not subtract the
unprintable region of the page.  Am I mistaken in assuming that this is
supposed to return a bounding box for the printable region, and not the
physical page size?
