I have a PDF document (US letter format) and I print it to the Lexmark Optra T616 printer with the following command (from Ubuntu using Acrobat Reader). The printer prints on A4 sheets:
Quote:
/usr/bin/lp -o number-up=2
I get a lot of margin around the two pages which are printed on each side.
How can I get rid of the margins and the space between the two pages?
I tried the following options without luck:
-o page-left=10 -o page-right=10 -o page-top=10 -o page-bottom=10
-o scaling=100

Regards,
Carsten
