I want to print a page (8.5in wide) with .5in margins left and right.
When I :textwidth = 7in (in LaTeX), I get the regular 1.75in left
margin, and print running off the page.

Thanks.

Conforming DVI drivers cannot print within a 1-inch margin at the left and
the top of the page.  As far as I know, attempts to defeat this behavior
are futile.  I don't think you can get a 0.5-inch margin, therefore.
