The follow postscript code causes our Dataproducts 2665 to print a 5/8" line 
along the bottom of the text.  There are no lines being drawn here,
just a character string.  The string is being trimmed because it is to large
to fit on the page.  I have another example that I won't post because after 
printing the file the printer stops working.  The only solution the Dataproducts
repairman has is to replace the controller board in the printer.

Dataproducts claims the problem is a bug in the controller board and only
Adobe can fix it.  Has anyone else had similar problems when printing off
the edge of an 11x17 page??
