[Printing-user-general] Setting Margins with alignmartins (2nd Posting)

This is a repost of a problem I got no responses to the first time. Please help
if you can.

I’m running Cups 1.1.22 on CentOS 4 (Red Hat Enterprise clone). My printer is
the Konica Minolta magicolor 2400W. I’m using the open source driver
(m2300w-0.51 which supports the 2400W) . I can print from CentOS and Windows XP
fine.

My problem is trying to set the margins with alignmargins and understanding the
instructions for the program. The image printed by alignmargins appears to
rotated about 10 degrees counter-clockwise when I use ml, mb, mr, mt, x and y
set to 0. The printed text (instructions for the alignmargins) appears fine
though. Can anyone provide clearer instructions on what I need to do to correct
this problem? 

My confusion is how to interpret the alignmargins instructions. Are H and V
constants since the horizontal and vertical lines are parallel to the edge of
paper. Do I take these measurements from the physical edge of the paper or from
the edge of the image printed? Finally, what is meant by “clipping edges” and
“clipping corners”?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
