Ron These doctors say they don't have a manual or they can't find any of the printer control info. I even talked to the US corp tech support people and they could or should I say wouldn't help.
I just gave up on trying to figure these out, I pray 7.x will not have these same problems with all of these non standard printer margins. For this doctor I am going to offer buying him a $200 inkjet printer, it will save me time and money in the long run compared to wasting time trying to figure this out. thanks Marc --- Ron Rose <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If I am understanding correctly, it is a line space > problem. > Hold the form from both together over a light box or > window and see the > mismatch.
