John,

I'm assuming this was from the PS driver where the aspect ratio
will be 11.0"/8.5" You might have to specify your paper size in
the DEV line so that the .5" of unprintible footer on the page aren't
used like: DEV=PS|file.ps|10;7|C

If the above doesn't help, can you send me your PROJ, GAREA 
and DEV settings? 

(Note, I'm heading out of town from Friday to Dec 8)

Steve
