A friend of mine has been experiencing problems with Windows 
3.1 and his HP DeskJet 500 which he's just bought.  He 
installed the win3.1 driver (hpdskjet.drv), from Control 
Panel: Printers, and set all the options properly.  
True-Type is enabled, and from inside Word for Windows 2.0 
he selected File...Printer Setup...Ok.  However, when he 
tries to print anything, the *left* margin comes out 
completely ragged.  Everyhing else is okay - fonts, 
resolution, point-sizes etc.  Its just the left margin which 
is all over the place.  This problem occurs with all apps, 
including Write, Notepad and Paintbrush.  I suspect its his printer 
which is faulty (the ink-head not being free to move all the 
way back to its leftmost resting position or some such 
thing), but has anyone else experienced anything similar?

Thanx,

Darren.
