I wonder if it might be easier for me to upgrade to the current version of cups, if it'll install and work on this old SuSE 7.3 system.
As far as I see there is no bug in the old CUPS version why it does not work for your PostScript printer. We (i.e. Suse) do not provide a current version of CUPS for such an old Suse Linux version. Regarding margins: The margin settings in CUPS are only relevant for plain ASCII text input. For PostScript input the magrins cannot be changed easily and in particular they cannot be changed reliable. What is easy is to set magrins so that the PostScript content is simply clipped outside but this is not what you want. What you want is that the whole PostScript content is moved on the page. For PostScript input you must set the magrings correctly in the application program which produces the PostScript. Alternatively you can use the "psutils" (e.g. pstops) to move the content on the pages. Be warned that after "psutils" has changed the PostScript some options (in particular duplex) may no longer work. (CUPS sets the option but the PostScript printer ignores it). In particular the "psutils" create non DSC conforming PostScript.
