Carlos:

Many printers can't print close to the bottom of the page. It's caused by the 
way they are designed. The size of the non-printable area probably varies 
between printer models. 

When I use the command 'enscript -2rG', I see results similar to yours. Try 
adding " --margins=:::50 " to your print command line. When I used this print 
command -

enscript -2rG -Pptal-printd --margins=:::50

there was no loss of text at the bottom of the page.

See 'man enscript' for more information.

Best to you, Carlos.
