If I recall, you are using CUPS, and if so, this document[1] explains how to set margins from the command line. It seems to be document-specific, and not global, though. I remember doing the required math for this a couple of years ago, and ended up just going with something like a2ps and being done with it. [1] http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/options.html

Is there a way? Are you using A4 printer settings on US letter sized paper? Stroller.

I don't see any way to adjust the margins anywhere in hplip. I even tried to set it up again but basically all it does and see the printer and add it. There's not anything to set up really. I only wish it would. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
Re: [gentoo-user] Printer margins
HPLIP installs several executables. Have you made sure you have started the correct setup program? As I recall, these settings ARE included in the hplip setup for my printer, which is an older 3 in 1.

[gentoo-user] Printer margins
Howdy, I finally got around to ordering some ink cartridges. Now I want to do some printing. Thing is, it tries to print ALL the way to the bottom which ends up blurred and unreadable. I've looked in Seamonkey settings, nothing. I've looked in Hplip, nothing there. I've even looked in cups, well, nothing that makes sense. I don't like the new cups interface. I didn't see anything there related to margins and when I looked in the config file, I couldn't make sense of what to change. So, how does one change the bottom margin to say 1/2 or even 3/4 inch or something? Is there a way? Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
