Xerox M750 Printer misaligned


First of all, I'm running Slack 9.0 (with some updates that should make it about the same as 9.1), cups 1.1.19, and ghostscript 7.05.

My Xerox DocuPrint M750 prints too far to the left! I tried following the instructions at LinuxPrinting.org and I successfully installed the foomatic driver. I tried running the alignmargins script from LinuxPrinting and I put in some values that I thought were correct, but I'm not sure if I read the test page correctly. Anyway though, I ran spadmin after running the psalign script and setup up my printer, but when I printed out a test page, all the text was too far left (it went off the page) and too far up. Any ideas?

can you slide the paper tray over in the back so that the paper feeds in a bit to the left?

The main problem with that is that I'm dual booting with Windows and that'll probably screw up alignment in Windows.

Also, the paper tray doesn't slide over, so that option isn't available...
