[reportlab-users] Printing on a dot matrix printer

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to print a PDF made with ReportLab on an Epson LX-300+, but
the font ends up much smaller than on the print preview, and with a huge
left margin..

The PDF is built using Platypus, with just a bunch of text Paragraphs
with Courier font.

I'm printing from Ubuntu 9.04 from Evince via CUPS, using the epsonc
driver (recommended by openprinting.org)

Are there known problems with PDFs on dot matrix printers? Is this
supposed to work?

Thanks for your time!
