The program prints a poster for lost or found animals. When I wrote the program and tested it at home on my printer, an HP LaserJet, it worked fine. When I got to the site to test the program, the result from the printer appeared to be scaled up by a factor of 2 in the x direction. The PageFormat was in portrait mode and the other PageFormat parameters looked perfectly normal. Turns out scaling my rendering by 0.5 made it print fine. Anybody ever see anything like this?
