A few days ago I posted about Freedom of Press Light printing way
up near the top 1/8 " of the page on my DeskWriter and wondered
how this way happening since the DeskWriter user's manual says
the imageable area for an 8 1/2" x 11" page is 8" x 10.16" (i.e.,
0.42" top and bottom margin).  HP was no help but Custom Applications, Inc.
(FOP's publisher) told me that they essentially have their own version
of a DeskWriter driver inside of FOP.  They said it was buggy and was
causing the page to be shifted up.  They suggested using their QuickDraw
DeskWriter selection (which goes through the HP DeskWriter driver).  I'll
try this tonight.

My next question is for HP.  If FOP can print way up near the top of the
page (whether due to a bug on their part or not) why can't I?  Why is the
imageable area restricted to 8" x 10.16"?  What did you tell CAI so that
they were able to do this?
