can someone tell me what i should do to change the behavior of my printing. i am printing to an Epson 740 printer, and it chops off the top and the bottom of the page. Also sometimes the right margin chops off the printing too.
can i change some setting that says to print only on the allowable print area of the printer?

I too am having a problem. It seems this is the result of an update I applied at some time since 7.2 came out. It may be a ghostscript issue. I often do psbook [-s40] filename.ps | pdnup -2 -pletter > book.ps and then after making sure it's all correct with gv book.ps, I send it to the printer. This seems to be broken. I did just take a look at the /etc/a2ps.cfg, /etc/a2ps-site.cfg and /etc/enscript.cfg and noticed the default Default medium was set to A4. Changing this in the /etc/enscript.cfg influenced the behavior of enscript. I'm still playing around to try to figure out the affect of the rest of the settings. Note well: Lette != letter !=Letter != Letterdj != letterjd!
I have this problem as well, or at least a variation of it, when I print ASCII files. Last line is either chopped in half or dropped entirely and the penultimate line is chopped in half.
This is all Ronald Regan's fault. He's the one who killed the effort to transition to the metric system. IIRC his argument was something like 'America is the strongest economy on the planet, if *they* don't want to use our system tough, it's good enough for *us*.' And before you go flaming me for dogging a Republican, let me tell you my Dad the engineer has never supported a Democrat for dog catcher, and he agrees with me on this.
Guess I have to agree with you on this one, although I am still trying to get used to the "liters per 100 kilometers" measurement the Europeans use. Miles per gallon still seems to make a lot more sense to me. Using just one system would have also saved the US a couple of billion $ on spacecraft a couple of years back...
