IF gutenprint handles the real numbers just fine (i.e. it processes them correctly), then what you have is not necessarily a problem in gutenprint. There is a veritable mess of crap that can change the positioning of a page when gs (whichever one) is rendering it, and whatever device gutenprint is using to draw the preview might have a different adjustment than the IJS device itself. I'd really like for Debian to actually get this right, but I have never seen a linux distro that does. Download this file: http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/printing/align.ps Print it, and also /usr/share/gs<whatever ghostscript you're using>/<whatever version of ghostscript you're using>/lib/align.ps Printing that file, and previewing that file (using gutenprint, gv, etc) will tell you WHAT is badly adjusted, and how. You can try (untested) to use: http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/printing/alignmargins as root to modify the PPD to align margins correctly, but that is unlikely to work if alignment is different depending on the viewer/previewer you did see when looking at the two align.ps files I mentioned above. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
