Edward, are you printing in DOSBox-X? That's what I'm doing, using
POSTGHST.PR4 and gswin32c.exe to print to a PDF. It creates a PDF, but
the left margin is flush against the left side of the screen, despite a
1-inch left margin setting in the document. Whereas with the same
POSTGHST.PR4 and gswin32c.exe in vDosPlus, the PDF has the correct
margins. Also, the PDF created in DOSBox-X is almost twice as large:

OUTPUT    PDF      124416     1-13-2022  12:01am 
#LPT1     PDF       64721     1-13-2022  12:06am 

What really puzzles me is that the PS output is different in the two
environments:

OUTPUT    PRN      541347     1-13-2022  12:01am 
#LPT1     ASC      814162     1-13-2022  12:06am 

It's a puzzlement.
