Bill, most printers can't print within a quarter inch of the edge of the page, so that's one challenge to start with, although I don't think it's the explanation for your problem. 

How about this as a test -- make a brand new FM document with the default "Portrait" page. Now just type a single line in it, and print the page. The text should print 1" from both top and left margins, give or take maybe .1" depending on the printer paper feed calibration. Try printing on both printers.  

Are the results from both printers the same, and do they both print with the expected 1" margins? If so, then we can eliminate something weird with the printers or with your printer driver/printer instance setup. If they don't print correctly, then the finger is pointing at your system's printer setup, or possibly at some actual settings in the printer, or even something off-kilter in the FM file.  

Try the same test with a Word doc, and see if you get consistent results.
