Nice to hear someone actually uses it... :)

Actually, apsfilter doesn't know (or care) about margin settings...
it's a problem with ghostscript and with the tools that produce
PostScript for printing.

Ghostscript has some way of entering the correct margins in gs_init.ps
(I think); the gs documentation and/or the Printing-HOWTO should know
more about this.

If you experience those cut-offs only with ascii files, you may need to
edit the appropriate a2ps configuration file (a2ps.cfg should be the one).
In case you use mpage, there should be a similar file (I don't use it).


The FAQ certainly needs some make-over, but we're all too lazy/busy/stupid
to do it ourselves...
