Dear Michael,

thank you.

I did as you told me and saw how I can change the margins interactively.
I also get the driver tab locally. So far so good. 

What I still do not know is, how can I set the margins globally for the 
remote server, so that not every user has to set them? I did set them
with: lpoptions -o page-left=50 -p <printer>. This works for xpp, but
not for kprinter.

A second question:

I saw that there are different tabs in kprinter if I start it from kmail
or from mozilla.

Under kmail I get:

"general  margins  driver  filter"

Under mozilla I get:

"general  image  text  HP-GL/2  driver  filter"

Where does that difference come from?

Regards

Herbert
