For your DVI output to appear in precisely the right location on the paper,
the TEX origin must be exactly one inch in from the top and left paper edges.
Page 2 in nasty.dvi
contains a thick rule with its top left
corner exactly at the TEX origin.
If the output from a non-PostScript printer shows a significant discrepancy
then adjust the horizontal_offset
and/or vertical_offset
in
the Default config file to shift the origin to the correct position.
These offset parameters are not used by dvips, so to adjust the
origin for a PostScript printer you could add a line containing
something like ``O 3mm,-2mm
'' to the config.ps file
in :DVIPS:Inputs:.
If your printer is set up for US Letter paper then before adjusting
the offsets you should first change the Default file's paper_width
to 8.5in
and the paper_height
to 11in
.
Note that the current paper dimensions are passed on to dvips.
If you use more than one printer then you will probably need a separate
configuration file for each printer.
You might also need to create a separate configuration file
for landscape printing.
