I'm not familiar with PCL6, but this was a common problem with HP
Laser printers going back at least to the mid 90s when printing
reports that assume 66 lines per page.  The trick was to set the
vertical line spacing slightly below the default 6 lines per
inch.  I don't remember the PCL5 codes off hand.  Sounds like a
question for Super Printer Man, Jim Asman.
