    Hi Richard,
    hmmm.

    I can't seem to get my printer to do anything less than about 3/8", but it may
    be a limitation of the printer.
    when I use:
    a2ps -R -B --lines-per-page=120 --borders=yes --margin=0 somefile
    I get a 3/8" offset, but the right border line is missing so my printer can't
    quite deal with it (or it is not tracking right, it's old). I use a HP lj6p.

    Does --list=defaults show the correct medium (A4, Letter...)?
    If you set --margin=40 you don't see a large left margin?
    Do you know if that printer can print closer to the edge of the page?
