Why does printing suck still… spent like 2 hours fighting CUPS trying to understand how page sizes/margins work
If I have the margins in the PPD, it always adds on a left margin and pushes the right hand off the page.
If I set the page size to the printable area, the left side is right, but the right side cuts off before the printable area ends???
If it set the page size to printable area+1cm, I can print the whole width, but now I have a no-go zone on the right
Still dunno what's going on.

Oh yeah, and IPP printing throws some ghostscript error half the time so I'm sticking to AirPrint

@kalleboo Printing and printers are stuck in the 90s.
