top page cut-off


 
Hi,

  Have mentioned this before but wonder if there is someone who can
try to point me in the direction of resolution with printing.
Am running a stock Slack 8.0 system with kernel 2.4.18 and CAN get
apsfilter to run an HP laserjet 5N printer just beautifully.
  Only problem is the top line is always cut off.  I have appended
a jpeg of a scan of the top of a printed page if the group doesn't have
a filter to disallow it.  It is only 20k.
  It seems the text is shifted upwards and I am trying to get it the top 
and bottom margins to center properly.  The a2ps.cfg file does nothing 
unless I am supposed to put it somewhere.  I don't know if there is something
in ghostscript to alter to page centering.
Don't tell me to upgrade to the latest apsfilter and ghostscript as I couldn't
get anything to work and had to reload Slack just to get the abnormal
printing back.  The test page would work but the printer would fail to respond
at all with no error messages.
  I have tried the linux-printing site and apsfilter sites along with 
doing a pile of searches with different phrases.  I think the term would
be defective page registration but have tried lots of keywords to no 
avail.  A few folks have had a similiar problem but I couldn't find any 
workable answers.  I would hear, "get CUPS" or "foo printer" whatever the
heck they are.  Thanks in advance.
