+alignmargins \- adjust the margins and the position of the printed contents on the paper
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B alignmargins [/path/to/align.ps]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page documents briefly the
+.B alignmargins
+command.
+.SH OPTIONS
+alignmargins does not support any options.
+.SH PURPOSE OF alignmargins
+With this program you can adjust the margins and the position of the
+printed contents on the paper. This way you get well-centered printouts and
+you can make use of the whole imageable area of your printer, The driver
+settings are overridden when this adjustment is used.
+
+This is especially important when your printer is used with a driver for
+another printer to which yours is compatible (for example many laser
+printers are compatible to the HP LaserJet printers). Your printer prints
+with this driver, but the non-printable margins are usually different or the
+contents is even not centered. With this program you can fix these problems
