I think the answer must be something to do with the maths as the corners
always print OK even though they are just as near to the edges of the
paper as the lines.  Could it be my version of the Draw module that is
different?  

On my RiscPC (RISC OS 4.02), I have: Drawing Module 1.10, Drawfile 1.48
and !Draw 1.12 while on my Iyonix (RISC OS 5.11) I have Drawing Module
1.17, Drawfile 1.52 and !Draw 1.13.

If it could be one of these then which is most likely and can anyone
suggest where I can obtain an alternative to try?
