What printer (vendor & model) does the shelter have, and what printer 
driver?  What OS are you each using?

Contact the printer manufacture with this information and ask about 
possible incompatibilities.  There maybe other issues (bugs) or APIs 
which you are unaware that could be affecting output format.  You can 
try talking to Oracle too but generally I've found them unresponsive to 
small developers.

Could you post a sample of the printer code?  Stefan raises a good point 
that the issue could be in your code as well.
