   Remember that most printers leave a margin left/right/top/bottom on which 
they cannot print because of their own geometry.  I don't know about laserjet 
printers, but I know the size of my deskjet's print area, and I have set it 
accordingly for most of my printing.

   Maybe you need to edit your laserjet.filter or whatever it is called, so 
that it knows it has to print a whole letter-sized area.

Regards,
         Ron
