seems to be some corrections are need to be placed thru the "Linux Printer
Database Site" (forgot the url)

Brother HP-1240 Printer uses the "HP Laserjet IIp" driver(!!!) and NOT the "HP
Laserjet 4/5/6" driver.

as such, after my breif (very helpful tip from Brother Tech Support), this
problem is now solved with printing only the "test pages (ascii and
postscirpt) within the printtool - the left and top margings being "cut" short
by 1-2 character widths.  But, thru further experimentation with "kedit" and
"netscape", they still print by cutting the margins and only printing the 1/4
page in netscape!

Maybe this problem could be atleast corrected w/i the mdk distro
release by adding an entry for the Brother HL-1240 printer (possible?
dunno...whatever).





*Note on additional research:  Also, was advised (thru same tech support guy)
that the Brother HL-1250 printer (very similar to 1240) should use the "HP
Laserjet 4" driver.  Unknown on further specifics since i don't have a 1250!
(don't know if this is the hp laserjet 4/5/6 or hp laserjet 4- dithered
drivers).
