Perhaps what's happening is that blank spaces are being incorrectly
compressed; the perfect test is that a large box, like a page border, will
have the right line almost at the *left* margin.

Cause: Wrong printer driver selected.  The driver is probably telling the
printer, "Insert _x_ zeros here" and the printer's ignoring that.

Is there another driver you can select?
