I have a statement that creates a line that is then scanned by some other
hardware. There is very little tolerance for movement of this scan line. The
scan line is in the correct position on most printers but moves slightly
(enough to be out of position for a good scan) when printed on one printer.
It is a network printer but then so are some of the others in which it prints
correctly. Note:I use a text box to display the scan line.

Is there something I can do to control this from the Excel side or is this a
printer configuration issue?

Most printers have some level of 'drift' when printing, so the line could
move slightly during the print cycle. However, the scanner tolerance should
be high enough to account for this. You may want to try updating the printer
drivers on the offending printer. Same for the scanner.

Thanks. I figured it was something like that. I'll contact our tech support
here and see what can be done.
