Digital BW, The Print

Hi Roy, thanks for your response. It's good to know it's not
just my setup being goofed. Unfortunately, it is the method 
of offsetting the image 1/8" to the LEFT (not right) that I
can't figure out. 

Believe it or not, I'm using lpr to print--indirectly.
I have a bash script that interactively queries for the print
parameters and then generates a long lpr command which is
displayed for approval, then executed. The advantage is 
that once a good lpr command line has been generated, 
one can easily save it along with the image to reprint 
it later. (Without having to recall which options one 
selected in, for example, qtcups, to produce the master 
image one liked so much two months before.)

When I get that script finished, I was planning on sharing
it with the group. If compensating with an offset to get the
centering right is required, I'd like to include that in the 
script before I post it.

I'll keep experimenting!

-David
