My Ubuntu Dapper installation prints fine but only on a 5x6.5 inch
corner of the sheet. I've tried a lot of different adjustments to make
it print on the whole letter size paper. In fact Breezy Badger, Dapper
Drake and Kanotics all do the same thing with my Canon s300 printer.I
just changed /etc/papersize to letter but that had no effect.
  The whole cups-postscript-ghoststrip thing is too complex to tweak
beyond the gui control part. How do I make it print on the whole page?
