[THIN] Re: printer aggravation

Wow I guess I didn't realize how good I had it...   ANd here I was
complaining about 2-3 types of printers that are proving to be real
headaches.  Though I have noticed the PCL6 drivers on the HP laserJets are
proving to be a pain in the rear.   I try and get the users to switch over
to PS drivers as much as possible.  Though when they do for some reason on
our check writer module the MICR line gets moved down one line and causes
problems with the banks.
