Has anyone else had any problems printing to an ImageWriter II using
Word 4.0? Here's the whole scoop:

When printing to my ImageWriter II (Word is the only program that does
this), occaisonally (i.e. seemingly at random) the printer will forget
where the edge of the page is at the start of a document.  What happens
is that the printer thinks that the center of the page is the right edge
and slams horribly on the left end of its travel.  The printer has been
checked out; it's fine. 

This happens with or without SuperLaserSpool, and did not happen with
Word 3.

I've also tried replacing the ImageWriter driver; that's not the
problem.

Any insights would sure be appreciated.

Someone here had the same problem...  I don't remember why it
happened, but try replacing the printer driver..  SOMETHING eventually
fixed itself...
