Hello all...
Since setting up printing on SuSE 8.0 with KDE 3.0.4 and CUPS to a networked HP 4100, it insists on printing with the top of the "printed page" off the physical page. This happens printing out docs from kmail, and Konqueror, and probably other KDE apps as well. I've tried adjusting the margins through the YAST CUPS setup, hand editting /etc/cups/ppd/lp.ppd, searching through google, linuxprinting.org, and everything else I can think of. I'm _not_ a newbie, but this is my first try using CUPS, although I'm not sure if CUPS is the problem or not. The YAST sample page comes out ok.
Could some kind person please help me? If there is more info that I can give, I'd be glad to.
Thanks!

Hi Nick, 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. Sorry I can't offer you more help. Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
