It could be the question you want is so when is letter size not
letter size? That is a problem I had when creating documents at
home and then taking them to work. I was tld that the print areas
of the Imagewriter and the LaserPrinter and for that matter the
LQ Imagewriter are all different. If you formatted your document
to fit within the page (printable area) for the IW and then tried
it on a LW they are different. Try formatting your document with
the printer device of LaserWriter chosen on you home computer,
even if you do not have a LW. Hopefully this will solve your
problems, it solved mine.
