Problem

Symptoms: The customer is not satisfied with the way shadowing prints on his HP LaserJet III. The shadowed text spreads across the page when small left and right margins are used. Solutions: If you look at how shadow is printed, you will see that it flows to the left of the text. Text is positioned from the minimum margins. If the minimum margin is used, the text will start at 3X (where X=horizontal position). The farthest left position of the shadowed text for a 12pt font would be -12X. You can see that this pushes the X position into a negative value. The HP cannot go to that position, but it will print the text. This is why the text is spread across the page. The driver is set up to do a -X offset relative to the position of the text for the shadow. Offsetting from a small X position could easily take the shadow past the left X value, which the HP printer will not be able to process. Increasing the L/R margins can correct the problem.
