You know, I'd just like software to actually do what I set it to.
I
have some things to print that I'd like them to print neatly, but they
don't.
I set margins that are well within the printing area of my printer (it
can print to about 5mm to each edge of the paper, but I give it a good
2cm border), but the program always slices off the top third of the the
first line of text (and it has started printing that butchered top line
2cm down into the page).
I ask the print dialogue to shrink the page to 90% (to give me
hole-punching space to store the document), and centre it in the page,
but it top-lefts it.
This is basic stuff that other computers have been doing for twenty
years, or more. Is it that hard to get it right?
It's sort like the old "winmodem" issues we had back in the day where
the hardware really relied on the computer doing a lot of the work that
the hardware should have done.
Can you be a bit more specific such as make and model of printer and
which drivers you're using? The foomatic stuff can be wacky at times.
