RE: IPDS printing "off"

Hi Chuck,

My suggestions as follows:

1. Verify the printer has not been placed into edge to
edge printing mode. If it has, I would suggest
returning its configuration through the front panel to
use small unprintable borders in all four directions
instead of edge to edge mode.

2. If the printer seems OK, delete the device
description on the host and re-create it. I have
encountered situations in my career where the host was
maintaining page size and 0,0 origin placement
information in the device description that was no
longer correct (device updated or replaced). Deleting
and re-creating the device description resolved the
issue.

HTH

Best Regards,

/Paul
