The printer might have some setting different, perhaps a font, as you suggested. This may be the result of a previous program printing something, or of some printer default, set through DIP switches.

I suggest you explicitly set the font at the beginning of each print job. You might also check the printer manual, whether there is a setting for the margin.

It makes me think that the VFP default printer font is different on one machine than the others resulting in different spacing. However, I never set the default font and wondered what might be the cause. I have this application running in two other locations and it does not have this problem.
