I have noticed that when printing to a PCL print driver, everything is shifted to the left. I have created some PDF reports and the printing starts at coordinate 12. Printing to a postscript driver works fine, but printing to a PCL5 or PCL6 driver to the same printer, part of the first character is cut off.

Have you heard of this before or do you know how I can overcome this shift?

So it seems that I can call SetPageBox for each page and change the left coordinate of the Media box to -5 and this will move all my printing to the right.
