All of my settings across the board here are for letter printers,
including /etc/papersize on both the client printing system and the
print server. The drivers are also configured to use letter printing by
default, so unless there is another setting hidden somewhere... I don't
know. What I do know is that it shows the print preview on a piece of
letter paper, but in the print preview window, it runs off the bottom.
It is almost as if the margin setting were negative, but I cannot find
anything in my configuration to corroborate that notion.
