my application on Mac OSX 10.3.9 using the same NEC SuperScript 870 via

Top,Left of the paper, not imaging area). When I print from my

on Mac OSX 10.3.9 using a connected Stylewriter2400, I get no print
margins.
When I print from my application on Windows using the same
Stylewriter2400
via Samba, I get no top margin, and a left margin twice the size
defined. I
have tested both printers with other applications, and do not see this
problem.
When I check the margin information in the debugger, the margin
information
looks correct. And the graphics object created by the OpenPrinter() is
the
right width and height, but the actual print out is incorrect.
Is there something I am missing?
I'm not sure. The printable area(PageLeft, PageTop) varies with
printers, on the Mac at least. So that might explain your results
involving Mac printing between the NEC and the Stylewriter. In the case
of Mac and PC printing to the same printer, there is the issue of the
system margin setting available on the PC. When you say "a left margin
twice the size defined" do you mean twice that of the Windows user
margin settings or twice the size expected from your coded margins?
Best,
Jack
