Date: Thu, 25 May 2000 18:38:37 -0400
From: "Aaron M. Ucko" <amu@MIT.EDU>

System name:		bobbi-harlow.mit.edu
Type and version:	SPARC/4 8.4.1 (with mkserv)
Display type:		tcx

Shell:			/bin/sh (/bin/athena/bash?)
Window manager:		fvwm2m4

What were you trying to do?
	Print a DVI file.

What's wrong:
	It printed about an inch too high on the page because
	/usr/athena/share/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps specifies a
	default paper type of A4 rather than US letter.

What should have happened:
	The paper type should have defaulted to letter.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	dvips.info
