[bug-gs] Ghostsciprt - Printing Problems |

Ray,
Thanks for your answer.

I am now able to print it in different resolutions, but I find that the top
of the documents and sides are cut off.  
Here is an example of my call

# gs -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=laserjet -dDEVICEXRESOLUTION=400
-dDEVICEYRESOLUTION=400 -sOutputFile=\|lp 1002utd.pdf -c quit   

I tried this command without the -dDEVICEXRESOLUTION and 
-dDEVICEYRESOLUTION, but I am not getting the entire pdf printed.  If I
convert the pdf to postscript I have better luck in that the top prints but
the sides still are missing a little.  Any ideas for what I can try to fix
this.  With the resolution I have (400x400) I find that the document really
occupies only half the page but it kind of sticks itself onto the top left
hand side-thus losing out the top line.

Thanks for all your help,
Anj.

Amj,

Ghostscript is picky about the syntax of options (in the unix
tradition) so you have to read the documentation carefully.

The OutputFile option is a string, so you have to use the -s
option as in -sOutputFile=\|lp

Regards,
Ray
