At work, since I've been here (almost 2 years), my laptop always cuts off
about 1/8 of an inch from the left of the page. Until the latest upgrade
to ubuntu 11, I would have to adjust the "image quality" to 1200 dpi every
time I printed (even from the same application) or else any graphics on a
page would be super-grainy like I printed it in 1995.
I'm sure it works great in some cases. Just not in general. And mostly
not for me :(
