It looks like there's no way to get there from here -- i.e. there's no way to use Cups to reduce the size of the image from all jobs so that it fits onto the printable area of my printer (a Brother HL-1440); and that I'll have to modify all of the applications

Unless -- maybe -- I can modify gs_init.ps in the ghostscript library as is recommended by align.ps, which might affect everything going through the ghostscript interpreter, i.e. most of what I print.  However, there's a problem here that I'd like some help with: the print layint is affected by *both* the ppd file *and* gs_init.ps .  Is there a procedure or HowTo about how to separate the effects of these two files?

BTW: Thank both Mr. Blischke and in particular Mr. Sweet for all your help with this.
