Question Removing the default 0.25 inch x-offset from postprint?
I have set up a printer with
lpadmin -p printername -o protocol=bsd,dest=hostname,banner=never -v /dev/null -m netstandard -T PS -I
to get around some other problems as that the printer completely ignored the print jobs when it was originaly sent as plain text. Sending it as postscript also takes care of non-english characters.

Everything is peachy, except postprint moves everything 0.25" to the right by default. As the print-job is created by a COBOL system, I can't just add "-y x=0" to the lp command to remove it.

Anyone who could give me some pointers how to fix this? Any good swith to lpadmin? Or how I could alter a printer filter... Smilie

Thanks in advance Smilie

GSinterface(1)						      General Commands Manual						    GSinterface(1)

NAME

       GSinterface - LP interface script for using ghostscript under lpsched

SYNOPSIS

       GSinterface [request-id] [user] [title] [copies] [options] [files]

DESCRIPTION

       This shell script is intended to be uses as an LP interface script on Solaris 2.6 and later systems.  It allows print queues to be config-
       ured under LP using Ghostscript to render for the printer.

       Configuration under lpsched is performed via the lpadmin(1M) command.

	    # lpadmin -p printer -v /dev/... -I"postscript,pdf" -Tunknown 
		 -i /usr/sfw/share/ghostscript/interfaces/GSinterface 
		 -o GS_DEVICE=(gs-device-type) 
		 [-o OutputFile=(file/device)] [-o PAPERSIZE=(size)] 
		 [-o RESOLUTION=XxY] [-o banner-type=(ascii|postscript)] 
		 [-o GS_OPTIONS="-sIjsServer=... -sIjsParams=..."]

       Valid values for the GS_DEVICE setting can be obtained from Ghostscript by running: "gs -h". This will dump a variety of information  about
       Ghostscript's  usage  and  compile time configuration.  The "Available devices:" section lists the formats that Ghostscript will render to.
       You will need to match one of these formats to the format that your printer takes as input.

EXAMPLES

       To configure a Canon Bublejet 800c (NeWSprinter CL+) printer connected to an ECP parallel port:

	    # lpadmin -p printer -v /dev/ecpp0 -I"postscript,pdf" -Tunknown 
		 -i /usr/sfw/share/ghostscript/interfaces/GSinterface 
		 -o GS_DEVICE=bjc800
	    # accept printer
	    # enable printer

       To configure an HP DeskJet 990 printer connected via a USB interface using IJS support:

	    # lpadmin -p printer -v /dev/usb/lp1 -I"postscript,pdf" -Tunknown 
		 -i /usr/sfw/share/ghostscript/interfaces/GSinterface 
		 -o GS_DEVICE=ijs 
		 -o GS_OPTIONS="-sIjsServer=hpijs -sDeviceManufacturer=HEWLETT-PACKARD -sDeviceModel='DESKJET 990' -DIjsUseOutputFD"
	    # accept printer
	    # enable printer
