I did some experimentation with the lpr part of mapprint.tcl

thinking that maybe I've done this before and come up with the same

TclTk will output to a PS file that looks just fine when I open it.
However, just sending this to lpr (>>lpr file.ps) gives a very poor
result.
The map is up against the upper right edges of the page, rather
than being
centered. It is clipped on all edges but the bottom and clipped a
significant amount on the left side of the map (a side which is NOT
against
the edge of a page).
Is there something I'm missing in sending this to lpr?

What about job options? The CUPS manual has better documentation
than the lpr man page. Check http://localhost:631/documentation.html.
A mismatch of the document orientation and the job orientation can
cause odd clipping. And default position is probably upper-left, but
again orientation can cause trouble, rotation said upper left to
another corner.
