Sounds like there may also be some differences in the fonts you're
using. Same basic font, but differences between version. I've noted
some pagination differences in MS Word between machines (all Macs)
but nothing objectionable. And I've noted some differences in the
display between the machines as well. I never quite doped it out but
Mac printing takes all its formatting instructions from the screen
display in order to change it to Postscript (a vector graphics
language--it doesn't just print screen bitmaps) for printing.
Even though the display is different between my older laptop and my
tower the font size stays the same so long as the specified size in
points is the same. I've heard that graphic designers sometimes have
issues when they use TrueType fonts, although I don't know any
details except that it occurs with fancy page layouts. I don't use
job shop printing so it doesn't matter to me. One thing you might
consider is to go to a Postscript printer and use Postscript fonts if
you haven't already.
