Re: Ghostscript 2.5.2 printer driver:

I have made some modifications to the Canon lbp8 printer driver 
so that I can use 8.5x11" paper (it was originally written for A4 size).
For the most part it works great, but there is one small problem that
I haven't been able to fix.  The top and left margins are always
too wide (top one is too wide by about 3/8" and left one by
about 1/4").  An example:  I set margins in Wordperfect to 1",
but when I print using ghostscript, I get a top margin of about
1-3/8" and a left margin of about 1-1/4".  None of the text 
is cut off, its just shifted.

I haven't been able to figure out how to fix this. I was
wondering if anyone else has found a way to fix this problem.
(I tried to contact the original author by e-mail, but the
address in devs.mak doesn't seem to be valid anymore)

If anyone has the source code for a working  Canon lbp8 or lbp4
printer driver for 8.5x11" paper, I would appreciate it
if you could e-mail it to me.
