 I have a SiS 630 Onboard graphic chipset and I'm using the native
 RedHat Linux 8.0 XFree 4.2 server.
 In 1024x768 (virtual mode) printing is OK.
 I can't have a correct 1024x768 real mode in XFree. (My monitor supports this)

>this sounds like graphic issue and not related directly to cups server.

 I didn't say that I have this problem with cups, I have this problem always
 even in print preview and PDF printed files.

 I like to wait for the next RedHat version beacuase my RedHat 8.0 is fresh.

>PS: what kind of monitor do you have? vendor and type?

 My monitor is a AcerView 34TL. (14")

 I wanted to say that cups prints in wrong direction so about half of my page
 doesn't print on the paper.

 Which setting? I have this problem only with LPRng print server and not with cups.
 In my lpd.conf file this line exists:

 mc#128

 I couldn't find any other option related to my problem. Can you help me?
