I will continue to try to figure out how I'm "supposed" to be doing this;
thanks for the pointer to comp.periphs.printers. Just thought I'd let you
know that what worked for now was to slightly lower the image size and
then
check "Scaled to fit media" with "Centered Image" in the PS dialog. Your
information about how the printer responds to "No Margins" suggested this
solution. Now it enlarges it just enough that the entire image fits.
