Post (an URL  to) a sample PS file so we can have a look into it.

The problem is that the left margin of the generated ps file is too big. I would like to make it smaller when printed (taht is cut down the left side of the page). The printer has a ppd file and accompanying filter. I changed the ImageableArea from "0 0 595 842" to "30 0 595 842" and to other left lower x values but it had no effect on the printed margin. If I convert the file to pdf by ps2pdf and print the pdf, the setting is respected, the margin becomes smaller (or the left side of the page is cut off). How could I do the same with printing the ps file without converting it manually to pdf?
