Postscript "alignment" for printer?

Today I prepared some files to Postscript for printing.  I noticed 
that my printer clipped off some pixels on the left and bottom since 
it is not able to print all the way to the edge ("full bleed"). 
Minor tweaking of '-page' parameters would likely have surmounted 
this, but it would have required some trial and error.

As I recall TeX provides a way to tune its output so that the output 
best fits the actual imaging area of the printer.  A special test 
sheet is printed which can be read in order to determine the best 
adjustment parameters.  Usually this is sufficient to find the best 
parameters on the first try.  The parameters are saved so that they 
take effect for future print jobs to that printer.

Does anyone have some ideas as to how GraphicsMagick could best 
support tuning for specific Postscript output devices?
