Hi Greg,

You are using PrintTool, right? I've seen this before, though it's been a while. I think it has something to do with the relation between Paper Size, Image Size, and margins. 

Assuming you have already sized the image how you want it in Ps, and that there are sufficient margins for your paper size, make sure that scaling in PT is at 100%. (Seems like that should be the default but sometimes it changes spontaneously.) Then click the bull's-eye (center) button under Position. If you add a margin to the image in Ps (like what we do with PiezoDN to print clear edges) be sure that it is not larger than the paper size - not even by a tiny fraction. 

I usually use custom page sizes too, and set the margins equal all around - usually zero - but I also never print closer than an inch to the edge so that doesn't really matter. I do notice that there is sometimes a tiny offset (something like 1/100th or less) when using the center button, but that can be overridden by entering the position numbers manually. But this is nothing like the mis-positioning you are talking about. 

As I'm writing this, I'm starting to think I maybe I haven't had this problem since PrintTool came out. I definitely remember it happening occasionally back when I had a 7600 and was printing with QTR directly from Photoshop on a G4 or G5 running on Leopard or earlier. 

Rereading this, I doubt it will be of much help, but I'm posting anyway. ;)

Cheers,
Keith

I choose letter centered and the sides are ok, but the top is really off. My margins are at .125 on top and the sides and .556 on the bottom.
