Yes, that is the case. As another test, I defined a printer using the CUPS+GIMP-print v4.2.1 printing driver. it's default .ppd file has: *ImageableArea Letter/Letter: "18 33 594 789" and the printed output looked the same as the others except that a fraction (vertical height) of f the missing line appeared on the bottom. I changed this to *ImageableArea Letter/Letter: "18 33 576 734" and that had the _surprising to me_ effect of moving the text up the page, wiping out the top section of the printout and leaving the bottom exactly as it was before, but higher on the page. I would expect the bottom of the page to be truncated rather than the top being affected by this change. What is wrong with my interpretation? I notice in all of these .ppd files, in the PageSize definition lines, there is a parameter ImagingBBox null, i.e., *PageSize Letter/Letter: "<</PageSize[612 792]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice" Would something else besides null affect this problem? Would the something else be a set of four numbers like the page size? -- gerry _____ 0/0 /__
