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.
