When using XPrint to print a webpage, the right and bottom part of the page have large margins, like 5-7 cm. This happens while using Ghostscript for printing. The default Mozilla PostScript module works just fine.

Reporter: I need some infos about your system: 1. GhostScript version 2. Printer model 3. Any config files/details used to configure GhostScippt (which GhostScript driver do you use for your printer) 4. PostScript output from Print-To-File (please choose the same printer in the print dialog)

$ gs --version 6.51 Printer is a Canon BJ-10e; I think Ghostscript uses the bj10e driver. about point three... the printer was configured by the configuration tool of Mandrake, I don't know much details. I'll attach the output in a second.

I understand this is a problem of Xprt configuration. The default dpi is 300 but it's not proper. This should be configured for your printer. I changed this to 600 and it works fine for my PS printer. Before changing this, I'm also seeing this problem. etc/XpConfig/C/print/attributes/ document: *default-printer-resolution: 600 etc/XpConfig/C/print/models/SPSPARC2/ model-config: SPSPARC2.printer-resolutions-supported: 600

In theory yes - but why does this not happen for Mozilla's PostScript module ?

I created a new Linux x86 Xprt build which contains some additional DPI values (including 360 DPI), see http://puck.informatik.med.uni-giessen.de/download/xprint_linux_x86_005.tar.gz Modifying the "PSdefault" model-config and restrict it to only 360 DPI should fix the problem...

biesi: I'd like to write a model-config for your printer - can you please provide some information about it ? I need the following infos: - Full name of the printer incl. vendor name (example: "SunPics SPARCprinter II") - Resolutions supported (AFAIK only 360 DPI, right ?:) - Orientations supported (I assume "portrait" and "landscape") - Can the printer print on both sides of the paper (e.g. does it support duplex printing ?) ? - Which paper sizes are supported by this printer (for example: DIN-A4, US-Letter etc.) ?

- Full name of the printer incl. vendor name (example: "SunPics SPARCprinter II") Canon BJ-10e - Resolutions supported (AFAIK only 360 DPI, right ?:) Hm... according to the printer's manual, it supports (horizontal) 60, 120, 240 and 360 dpi. - Orientations supported (I assume "portrait" and "landscape") This is printer-dependent, not driver-dependent? The manual doesn't mention any orientations in the specifications. - Can the printer print on both sides of the paper (e.g. does it support duplex printing ?) ? No. (Well, you can print the first page, then turn the paper around and re-insert it :)) - Which paper sizes are supported by this printer (for example: DIN-A4, US-Letter etc.) ? B5, A4, letter and legal.
