Unfortunately I deleted the original mail that this is an answer to,
If a2ps prints too wide, so that the right-hand margin is off the paper,
you can edit the a2psrc file in your home directory. Comment out the
lines relating to Deskjet (which apparently make the print wider).
Above this there will be a series of lines beginning "Medium: A3 ..."
etc. These give width and height. Reduce the height value a bit and test
it.
In my case, I use A4 paper. I had:
Medium: A4 595 842
I reduced this to:
Medium A4: 595 828
This gave the right width.
