What you might take a look at is #1 - the newer DeskWriter drivers which are 
3.1.  Second, make sure that you have .5" margins since the deskwriter can't
print all the way out to .25" like the postscript printers.  Then, if all of
that has been checked, and you are using Adobe Type Manager, check to see if
you have line spaces or character shape checked.  You probably have line
spaces checked and need to switch to character shapes.

Hope this helps,
Eric
