Problem with --margin

[Otto Matejka]

Hello!

I've got the following problem and appreciate every comment about it:

I have a Deskjet 6122 and want to use a2ps for printing. I use the 
predefined medium "A4dj" because in "A4" the output area is larger than my 
printer is capable of printing. This works ok without the option "--margin".

When I use the option "--margin" the font of the postscript output is 
decreased to compensate the lost space for the binding margin.
Now the problem for me is that the first line of the printed text has not 
the same position as without the "--margin" parameter, but starts 
prematurely and its upper half is not printed.

The difference of the vertical position can also be seen with 
ghostscript/ghostview: I saved the a2ps postscript output generated with 
and without the "--margin" option. After opening both files with ghostview, 
the file that was generated with the "--margin" option has a smaller upper 
margin.

Do I have to define another medium in a2ps.cfg to correct this? This would 
be very hard to use.

My knowledge in Postscript is very little, but my view is that a2ps should 
correct the starting position of the text when used with option "--margin".

Does anyone know where the problem is? Any help or comment is welcome!

Many thanks in advance!

Bye
Otto
