  I recently purchased the MS Windows 3.0 Supplimental Device Drivers
  disks, supposidly because the new HP Laser drivers where faster and 
  supported grey-scales. I have a HPIIP.

  This may be, but I have also noted that (at least with AMI Professional)
  the new HPPCL drivers bottom border/margin for 14" x 8.5" legal paper in
  landscape mode is 1/8" smaller with the new driver. While the new
  and old drivers support about 1/4" margin on the other three sides,
  The "bottom" margin is now ~1/2" on this one side with the new driver.
  The way I found out was that all of my page numbers were not printing
  in documents with the new driver vs. the old driver.

             1/2" margin

  I called microsoft, they said they knew nothing about it but would make
  a note of it.  I will attempt to see if the problem is strictly AMI or
  not.  If anyone has some ideas, I'd like to hear about them.
