flexfax: offset/chopping problem with postscript faxes.

[Michael Henry <michael@maria.its.utas.edu.au>]

Hi, I'm running HylaFAX v4.0pl2alpha023 on a Solaris 2.5 box, using a Netcomm modem
(an Australian made class 2 modem).  Imaging is done via GNU Ghostscript 4.03 (1998-5-1),
and version 3.4 of the SGI tiff software. 

I have a problem with faxes sent from this modem being printed out on
the receiving modem with the left edge of the picture being clipped.

This occurs with Postscript imaged via ghostscript to tiffg3.  The intermediate
tiff image (captured before being sent via the modem), contains the left edge, so
something happens to it after this.  I would have thought that the tiff image
would be printed on the receiving machine with its origin at the beginning of
the printable area.

I can hack around this by offsetting the Postscript, but then the same documents
run off the right hand side of a laserwriter.

has anyone seen similar problems and (hopefully :-) found a solution ?

thanks,

michael.
