When I print postscript via the interface script below I sometimes
see pages go beyond the end of a physical piece of paper. That is
to say I get one sheet that is full and a second sheet that has
the last few rasters of the page on it. I suspect this has something to
do with the default margin on the Epson color jet printer I am using since I
did not notice this problem with a previous HP jet printer I was using.
Has anyone else seen a similar problem? Do any of you have any idea how I
might be able to work around this?
Thanks
chris
