[gs-devel] Printer alignment in CUPS?

I've used the alignmargins and alpgn.ps files by rote to build
tweaks for my .ppd file that apparently adds some postscript
fragments which set /.HWMargins and /Margins in the setpagedevice
dictionary.

Now I want to print DVDs, a media which does not have corners
to point at with arrows, so I want to devise some tweaks
without the benefit of an available rote procedure. My story
so far can be found in at:

Can anyone point me to some information on exactly what
those mysterious settings actually do? If not, I guess
I'll start poking them with a stick and measuring what
happens to the printed results :-).
