It's NOT Pen Pal.  I have the exact same problem using the new
ProWrite (2.5.)  Though ... I haven't checked page 3 and beyond.
I know the problem you're talking about on page 2, though.

So it has to be the 1.3 driver.  (Especially since the problem
doesn't occur with "cat >prt:" or the like.)

Try one other thing if Pen Pal has the function - try adding a
header to every page.  I've noticed sometimes that the second
page WON'T be wrong if there's a header at the top of the page.

Another point in evidence - when I print a file via PixelScript,
with its optimized DeskJet driver, I DON'T get the bumped-down
top-of-page.

I don't remember recalling this problem earlier.  Does anyone
else?  Dave Berezkowski - any ideas?
