How do I print an A4-sized document on letter-sized paper in RHEL?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We recently switched from RHEL4 to RHEL5. I configured a printer to have the generic postscript driver just as it had on RHEL4, but the document prints completely different to the physical printer. On RHEL 4 it printed with a 1/4 inch top margin and on RHEL 5 it prints with a 1 inch top margin.
  • How do I print an A4-sized document on US-Letter-sized paper? The content in the document fits easily on a Letter-sized page.
