- Re: Ghostscript 2.5.2 printer driver:
-
- I have made some modifications to the Canon lbp8 printer driver
- so that I can use 8.5x11" paper (it was originally written for A4 size).
- For the most part it works great, but there is one small problem that
- I haven't been able to fix. The top and left margins are always
- too wide (top one is too wide by about 3/8" and left one by
- about 1/4"). An example: I set margins in Wordperfect to 1",
- but when I print using ghostscript, I get a top margin of about
- 1-3/8" and a left margin of about 1-1/4". None of the text
- is cut off, its just shifted.
-
- I haven't been able to figure out how to fix this. I was
- wondering if anyone else has found a way to fix this problem.
- (I tried to contact the original author by e-mail, but the
- address in devs.mak doesn't seem to be valid anymore)
-
- If anyone has the source code for a working Canon lbp8 or lbp4
- printer driver for 8.5x11" paper, I would appreciate it
- if you could e-mail it to me.
