We've got 4 different laser printers in our department, on three of which I get
identical results, (original LaserWriter on AppleTalk, Personal LaserWriter NT
and Dataproducts LZR2665, both of the latter driven via the serial port), the
fourth of which gives me a picture that is shifted about 1.5cm up the page and
6mm left across it (GCC BLP on AppleTalk). This shift looks about right for the
printer to be thinking it's using US Letter rather than A4... although I have
got the Paper size knob pointing to A4.
Anyone got any ideas why the GCC BLP produces different results? I would like
to use this printer as my prefered choice to which to spool PostScript, it
being in my office, but printing PostScript files not produced on the Macintosh
is unacceptable as the picture is clipped when the drawing size is A4...
(The printers on serial lines are attached to different host computers, the
AppleTalked printers I tried various different PostScript spooling utilities on
the Macintosh).
