I am sorry I did not I explained the problem very well. Let's say I have 2 exact reports, the only difference report 2 has all the boxes 3 mm lower than report 1.
The print output on my HP 895 and several other printers prints report 2 3mm lower than report 1. That's the way it should be. Using the 7410 report 2 prints 20mm lower instead of 3mm lower. I do have a 3rd report that moves the print 2-3mm but the 7410 moves it 20mm. I didn't mean that the print was jumping up and down 20mm from one time to the other. Sorry I was unclear.
