solved the problem. Ever since I started issuing the "answer printer" command before printing, the printing problems have ceased.
Did you use printrotated? I've found that setting the printrotated to false after printing doesn't seem to 'take'. Perhaps using answer printer will correct that. I don't have a windows machine available at home where I develop (on OSX), and when I test at work, the other staff get a bit annoyed when the other apps they use are printing in landscape mode when they shouldn't be.

FWIW, I opened my complicated form in DreamCard for OS 9 for the Macintosh. Fields were filled in, checkboxes were checked.
At first, it totally froze my machine three times, when I was trying to print. I realized that Rev had resized my stack when I imported it, and my script was trying to print outside the rect of the stack.
(In a perfect world, this would generate an error message, or it would just crop the page, instead of freezing the machine.)
After diagnosing and repairing, I discovered that set printmargins actually works -- in pixels, not in inches. It doesn't work in hyperCard, as far as I can tell.
Ultimately, the form printed with PERFECT registration. I didn't have to change anything, except to adjust the stack size and the printmargins. No Printing Hell, for me, so far. Praise <enter your preferred Supreme Being here> !
