I am running FC3 and using Tex for letters and other documents I

I have found that the top margin is totally ignored and all printing
seems to be at the top of the page. If I want a 54pt top margin, the
beginning of the page is at the top. If I use the default 1 inch top
margin and 1 inch left margin, then the left margin is 1.5 inch and the
top is 1.05. If I set all margins including the hard ones, then I get
the same 1.5 inch margins. I am using a HP DeskJet 694C printer. It
seems *something* is ignoring the top margin setting. I have changed the
settings via system-config-printer without any change. I have used the -
o page-top=54 option to lpr without any change. I have used the -O x,y
option of dvips without any change. I have used this same printer
running Red Hat 6.2 on this same computer before I installed FC2 on it,
without this problem so it is *not* the printer. I have not found what
or where these margins are set!
If you are just concerned with TeX settings,
you could run "texconfig" and look at the dvips settings.
You can set \topmargin , \oddsidemargin and \evensidemargin
in individual LaTeX documents,
but that shouldn't be necessary.
