I was wondering how i can program in pcl to shift my text 10mm to the
right and 6mm up. This would include all text. I print out a form
and everything is shifted down and to the right. was wondering if i
can use pcl programming to fix this. any help would be greatly
appreciated. also would like step by step instructions on how to do
this as i've never programmed in pcl.

Thanks,

Jay

What makes you think this has anything to do with C (I'm reading this in
comp.lang.c)? Please research groups more carefully before posting.
Also, would everyone please restrict posts on this to whichever group it
is appropriate in. I suspect it is not topical in any of the groups so
I've not set followups.

Hewlett-Packard published a book several years ago:
"HP PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual"

It was possibly a mistake, but on the other hand . . . many years
ago I wrote a number of custom reports written specifically for
several different early HP laserjets. Written entirely in C, all
printing was done using PCL codes. :) This was back in the days
when HP provided many complete manuals with their printers, and one
of the most referenced ones consisted mostly of PCL documentation.
