Printconf? That be Redhat. Try Yast2 and printer setup, you get to test each driver/setting until you get it right. If this is an Inkjet I believe you can choose a special inkjet version too (I know its called letter for inkjet for US sized A4). Matt

I had problems with my Epson Photo Stylus 750 with the bottom margin being cut off. A friend of mine suggested that I switch to using the CUPS printing system. This fixed my problem, I however can't give much more of a techinical explanation as I'm still quite a new Linux user. I manage the printer with a KDE app called "Kups". The CUPS drivers etc are on the 7.1 CD's and there are updates for these on the SuSE FTP site. I hope this will help. Oh, I stilled this with YAST1.

HP printers need a little extra space at the top to grab the page. The DeskJets I've used required .25" (sorry, I don't know the metric conversion). Maybe the filter doesn't allow the proper amount of space? Another thing to consider is what you're trying to print. Is it text or postscript? "Printing" does not really send anything to your printer. "Printing" sends data to a filter that translates it for the printer. When you "print" from Netscape or StarOffice, they send Postscript data to the printer filter. The filter takes this common format and translates it into commands for your specific printer. The filter is usually 'ghostscript'. Text, however, can be dumped right to the printer with no formatting. Sometimes, the 'ghostscript' filter is configured to recognize the top margin. But the raw dump of text isn't. All of that to say... Knowing which type is being printed, postscript or text, might help in locating the problem. -- Robert Wohlfarth rjwohlfar@bigfoot.com "Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?" -- Matthew 6:25b
