   I've carefully created a postscript picture of 595x842 which is exactly
   A4. "gs -sPAPERSIZE=a4 a4.ps" shows it correctly. However, when printing
   this using

	   print-3.1.3/Ghost + GS 6.01 + Epson 740

   and the command

	   gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=stp -dModel=12 -dDensity=0.8
		   -r1440 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dImageType=2 -dQuality=6 -dDither=4
		   -sOutputFile=outa4.esc a4.ps

   the image is vertically shifted about 1 centimeter. The printer prints the
   top of the page first. Instead of starting with a 3 mm white margin the
   margin looks 13mm. But only 3 mm of the picture is left out. At the bottom
   of the page (printed last) the last 3mm are unused but about 13mm of
   the picture is left out. Left and right sides are ok (both 3 mm left out).

   I've studied the source a bit, pulled the driver into gdb but haven't yet
   found a clue.

This code isn't right yet.  I'm taking a look at it, but the fix won't
happen right away.  I have to hack the softweave code to deal with it,
and that's never a pleasant task.
