I think I've found a bug in ghostscript v2.4 for the PC.  I have a HP
Laserjet III and when I print a document to it using the laserjet driver
of ghostscript 2.4 (for dos) the pages come out offset by 3/16 of an
inch horizontally to the right and 1/4 of an inch vertically downwards.

Ghostscript 2.3 does not exhibit this problem with the ljet3 driver (which
no longer exists in 2.4--- it has been replaced by a generic laserjet driver).
Does anyone know of a fix to this problem?  I really need to use 2.4 because 
I have a huge postscript file to print out and 2.3 chokes on it with a 
"/VMerror in filetype".  2.4 runs fine but has this offset problem.

Thanks for the help,
