faq / tuning margins



 Hello,

 I needed to reinstall because some Debian unstable packages were
 actually unstable ;) and with the latest deb the testpage doesn't fit
 in one page. The source version corrected this problem.

 Some basic information... My printer is Epson Stylus Color 460 and
 some software versions follow. Debian packages: gs-aladdin 6.01-7,
 libpaperg 1.0.5, psutils 1.17-12. Apsfilter 1.6.2.1 source.
 Drivers being used are stcany (360dpi) and stcany_h (720dpi).

 There is just one minor problem regarding margins. I would like to
 adjust bottom margin, faq in address
 http://www.apsfilter.org/docs/faq/chap-tuning.html#AEN285 
 says "uniprint drivers contain a line '-dupMargins="{ 9.0 39.96 9.0
 9.0}" or similar; these are the left, bottom, right, top margins in
 points (1pt = 1/72"). Other". Some text missing after that i think...

 So, other margins are 9/72"=3mm but bottom is 40/72"=14mm. Can this
 be adjusted somehow? As I measured, this bottom margin is exactly
 14mm which is just too much for me ;) I tried to 'grep dupMargins'
 from several files but didn't find it. I thought this is a
 ghostscript option but it seems to be ignored when I add it to
 /etc/apsfilter/apsfilterrc.

 Any help appreciated.
