Re: [Perl-pdf-devel] Printing PDFs

[Kirk K. <ki...@gr...>]

I'm sure there are others on here who can give a more qualified  
response, but here's my stab at it:

I believe that specifying the bleedbox for the document to the actual  
size of the paper may help solve the problem.

Part of the issue, however, may be that printers vary in their  
calibration of paper to printhead. But if I had to take a stab at  
solving your problem, the above would be my first thing to try.
