This is a hack that I found out the hard way, and works for RH6.1, and for
straight text files only. Go to /var/spool/lpd/lp/textonly.cfg. There
should be a line in there like: TEXTONLYOPTIONS= . Find out (for your
given printer) what the command is for changing the top margin to what you
want, and put that in quotes after TEXTONLYOPTIONS=. (This string should
be formatted like a C printf format string.) This will act like a setup
string that will hit your printer every time you send something. Also note
that inkjets and lasers have a certain set margin in which they can't
print, regardless of what command you give them.
Wish I could be more help, but I don't know what version of PCL your
printer uses, etc.
