The degree varies by print job, but generally it seem to be about 10%, and most of the time the entire job is offset (pushed up, some text is normally chopped off).

I have all the correct PPDs installed for every printer.. and, for example, I can take a pdf file that prints fine when fed to lpr, but the same thing when converted to postscript (acroread -toPostScript) exhibits this issue.

This happens with all kinds of documents. The pdf was just an example, and it printed fine from acrobat. BUT when I convert it to postscript and send it with lpr, it isn't fine.

Am I being unclear?
Any other ideas? :)
