Printing 11x17 using a HP5si with a PCL Driver 1

[mjoplin]

I guess my first posting wasn't detailed enough.

I'm trying to print on an HP5si using a PCL driver (No Post Script Memory installed). The network is NT 4.0. The user is on a Win98 Workstation and Adobe PageMaker 6.5.

I've installed the printer on the NT 4.0 Server using the latest install/driver from HP (PCL6 I believe). I then set the default document to pull from tray 3 - 11x17.

When I install that printer on the Win98 Workstation and print a PageMaker document the document is printed way off center.

She said that it used to be set up with a different driver that had more tabs than what comes up on the properties of her HP5si printer. A collegue of mine suggested I install the print driver that comes on the PageMaker CD. I have to drive 2 hours to get to this client and I need detailed instructions that will really work this time.

What print driver should I be using on the server?
What driver should be installed on the workstation and how should I install it?

Hello,
Try this doc from the adobe website
Document 314689 Objects Shift When Printed to LaserJet 5L or 6L from PageMaker in Windows 95
Here is a direct link to the doc.

The Adobe driver will not do you much good since it is a PostScript driver and you are not using a ps printer.
Try the suggestions on this doc.
It is a known issue with this printer and pagemaker.
Good luck,
