enscript a4 output runs off the paper ..

Hi,

I'm using Mac OSX 10.5.5.

to print my source code, i use enscript (2-up, landscape,
and some other settings).

when i tried printing with enscript, it would print the
left page with a big margin, and the right page will
run off the paper (rightmost text will not be displayed).

previously, i was able to use fink's enscript to print
pages properly.

all-of-a-sudden, it stopped working ... not sure if it
is because of the recent 10.5.5 upgrade, of ifs because
i installed the hp laserjet 3055 drivers.. (though i
seem to remember it was working after the drivers
installation).

i've uninstalled the drivers (reboot after that), and
it is still not printing correctly.

i had thought it was a a4/letter problem, and have
installed the 1.6.4-a4 enscript. this doesn't help.

how can i fix this ?

Thanks Very Much in advance ...
cheers,
sam
 
I'll try both suggestions ...

where can one find 10.5.4's pstops ?
i've upgraded my system to 10.5.5 a while back ...

Thanks again,
sam
 
After running across this article I found a bug report filed with Redhat:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=191601

My solution was to edit my printer's ppd file:
bash-3.2# diff Canon_MF4100_Series.ppd.orig Canon_MF4100_Series.ppd

After that, I told cupsd to reload:
ps axuww | grep cupsd
kill -1 (your cupsd pid, in my case 44)
