I've never had your problem with CUPS and have been using it extensively at work and home since it first became available. The only thing I can offer is some general observations.
When configuring a printer on the cups server you will find there usually is a number of drivers available for the one printer. Some of these really stuff up and should never be associated with that printer model.
The other thing to try is configuring thru a browser. http://localhost:631 it is the original way of configuring CUPS and quite often works better than the alternatives.
Ok, I wasn't aware of this. I don't see a place to set the top margin in here, but I don't think that it'd help anyway. The test page for it prints just fine. Because of this, I'm becoming convinced that this is a KDE problem, not a CUPS problem. Also, if I print from, say, Mozilla, it comes out fine. So, I have a question for the group. In the KDE world, what generates the postscript? Is this logic in the KDE/QT software (my understanding, but it could be wrong), or does CUPS do this? In other words, when I print a job through Konqueror, it's PS data that's put in the queue, which is then raterized either by a CUPS process (or a process kicked off by cups, perhaps gs), or by the printer itself.
Sorry I can't offer you more help.
I do appreciate the help that you have provided.... Thanks again! -Nick
