["Steven T. Hatton" <hattons@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am once again frustrated with printing.  It seems as if something has gone 
wrong with the paper size or margin settings related to ghostscript.  I 
believe the problem is related to the postscript files I create locally as 
opposed to those I download from, for example, www.w3c.org.  If I do 
something such as 'enscript  rfc3104.txt -o rfc3104.ps;gv rfc3104.ps &' I see 
that the created postscript file has a very small left margin.  

I've discovered that most of the default setting on my box are for A4 paper 
size.  I'm in the US and for reasons beyond my control I am forced to conform 
to standards which are inconsistent with the rest of the world.  Nonetheless, 
I would like to be able to print without having to read (or write) a thesis 
paper on postscript.  the files I've discovered with a default A4 papersize 
are:
 
/etc/a2ps-site.cfg
/etc/enscript.cfg
/usr/share/ghostscript/6.51/lib/gs_init.ps

changing the papersize to Letterdj or letter in these does not seem to fix 
the problem.  I can't seem to identify the configuration setting to correct 
this problem.  Does anybody know what the problem is, or how I can fix it?

TIA,

Steven
