The layout for the ImageWriter and the LaserWriter aren't going to be
identical.  You built the document assuming IW, and it was OK.  When you
tried to print to LW, you got chages due to different font (New York is
*not* the same as Times, for instance) spacings and so on.

Try repaginating, etc., your file on a system with the LW selected (Choosed?),
and see if things don't work better.

It won't be perfect, but it should be a lot better.
