Margins settings PCL commands for modern printers

[Bob Rasmussen]

Please explain. Was the fix made by hooking the printer up via network 
instead of USB, as you suggest? Or was the fix made by changing the 
lines-per-page setting using the front panel of the printer? Or, possibly, 
using the web server interface of the printer to change its lines-per-page 
configuration?
