Abiword Printing Problem

[Brian Chadwick]

Hi, I am using Abiword on FC6, with cups driving a Kyocera FS-1010 
Postscript Printer.

When I write a document on Abiword, and then use Print Preview, the 
document looks correct for printing. When printed however, the document 
is moved down the page, with excessive whitespace above the beginning of 
the document, and not in accordance with the Page Setup margins.

If I save the document in Word 97 format, and then reprint it using 
OpenOfficeOrg Writer, the top margin is correct.

I have looked through all possible margin settings and previous mailing 
list posts and cannot find any reference to this problem.

Can anyone help?

Cheers

Brian

I've seen a duck that walked like this go by on either the gimp-print list 
or the cups list, I forget which, just in the last 6 weeks or so.  A 
google search might get you a link to the threads that discussed this.
