(Get the code!)
bash, the borders you get are exactly the ones described by the PPD file.
Aaron, is it possible that the PPDs contain too wide borders? I see that my PhotoSmart C8100 and Pro B8800 both have a lower border of 36 points (=0.5 inches or 12.7 mm) defined. In non-borderless mode these printers have borders of around 5 mm all around, and in addition, they have even a borderless mode.
Aaron, should the HPLIP PPDs perhaps get modified?
bash, can you replace every "36" in the "*ImageableArea ..." lines of the PPD in /etc/cups/ppd/ by "18" and then restart CUPS with "sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart"?
The border handling in pstopdf was only introduced to get the CUPS test page coming out correctly. Should we perhaps remove it as many printer allow narrower borders than the PPD tells?
