Hmm.. No help there, don't use it. Closest thing I do is use mp to print news and email from xemacs. Margins look good there (seem to be centered left/right, top/bottom). Could it be that your paper tray is slightly misaligned? Do you use teTeX? If so, you could look to see whether the setup program gives you correctly centered pages with the default settings or needs substantial offsets to be used. -- M. L.
