I recently purchased the MS Windows 3.0 Supplimental Device Drivers
disks, supposidly because the new HP Laser drivers where faster and
supported grey-scales. I have a HPIIP.
This may be, but I have also noted that (at least with AMI Professional)
the new HPPCL drivers bottom border/margin for 14" x 8.5" legal paper in
landscape mode is 1/8" smaller with the new driver. While the new
and old drivers support about 1/4" margin on the other three sides,
The "bottom" margin is now ~1/2" on this one side with the new driver.
The way I found out was that all of my page numbers were not printing
in documents with the new driver vs. the old driver.

I called microsoft, they said they knew nothing about it but would make
a note of it. I will attempt to see if the problem is strictly AMI or
not. If anyone has some ideas, I'd like to hear about them.
