    Pete,
    I was able to get my margin the way I wanted using the enscript command
    and it lets me change the font, but I can't seem to determine the
    available font types/names that can be used. Do you know how I can get
    a list of available fonts. Man page for enscript shows Courier and
    Times-Roman.
    This is what I'm using:
    enscript --no-header -fTimes-Roman10 --margin=7:7:21:21 --output=test.ps
    text.txt
    Thanks,
    Richard

    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?
