For a2ps, I had to edit a2ps.cfg . In /etc/cups/ppd/PSC_1500_series.ppd , I changed *HWMargins: 18 36 18 9 to *HWMargins: 18 54 18 9 The margin order is left, bottom, right, top. In /etc/a2ps.cfg , I changed Medium: Letter 612 792 to Medium: Letter 612 792 18 54 594 783 There were gratuitous tabs. The values are in points. The first two are the paper dimensions. The next two are the x, y position of the lower left corner of the printable area. The last two are the x, y position of the upper right. lp still gives me rather dark print. -- Mike hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Horse guts never lie." -- Cherek Bear-Shoulders
