I recently spoke to a commercial software developer about this (and he
was not too ethusiastic about the quality of the Acorn printer drivers)
but I thought I'd address it to the world in case there is a solution,
and if not then maybe Acorn will be listening.

I recently got RO 3 and set up !Printers to drive my Citizen ProLaser
12, HP PaintJet, KXP1124 and ArcFax.

One of the first things I noticed was that there is a nice !PrintEdit
application and so I used it to try to set up the graphics printing
origin for the ProLaser because the default is far too far down the
page.  However, these x and y offsets seem to be totally ignored.

I dumped the output of a test print to a file before and after changing
the x and y offsets and both files were identical.  If I manually edit
the print file I can get the printer to start printing at a different
origin but the Acorn driver just doesn't do its stuff.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mike Hobbs
