I'd be happy with that.
I'm using the duplex printing feature if that matters.  When printing
text (postscript), it prints more than an extra inch of margin at the
top and the text then runs all the way to the bottom of the paper. 
Sometimes I've seen it print part of page 2 on the bottom of page one. 
If I use gv, or gs and look at the postscript it looks fine.  So, it is
the print driver doing this.

I use Slackware and just write my own filters in perl.
I'm a programmer so I can hack what ever you have and will try that. 
Thanks.  You can send it private if you don't want to clog up the list.
