Adding to the above I tried moving the prints down from the leading
edge and then discovered that the printer doesn't print the full
length of the document. An 11" drop only yields 10.5". The only
solution is to add  1/2" to the top of the page and 1" to the bottom.
This doesn't happen when using the Epson drivers but QTR produces such
better monochrome prints that I want to persevere. Has anyone any
suggestions as I hate wasting paper!
