We have recently purchased a QMS Lasergraphics 800 printer and
have a troff for it.  However, the cut marks which are
automatically inserted by MM and the manual macros get in the
way, since the printer uses 8 1/2" x 11" single sheet paper.  Has
anyone mucked with this problem before? Although I can easily
modify the macros to get rid of the marks, I'd rather not have to
do it each time we get a new version.  Shouldn't cut marks be an
option (i.e., single letter register to be set by -r option of
troff/nroff). I would think that this problem will become more of
an issue as laser printers become more and more popular.
