printer does not print characters at the beginning of the line fully

[Sandip P Deshmukh <deshmukh@escortsmumbai.com>]

hello all

i have come back with printing problem.

when i write a text file with vi and do cat filename | lpr, i realize
that characters in the beginning of the line disappear from the
printout.

what could be the cause and what could be remedy? i do not know what
more information you will need. but i am using debian woody 3.0 and the
printer is hp deskjet 710c. i do not understand much of cups. but i have
cups running and for filter etc it says pnm2ppa etc.

apologies for sketchy information. i do not know what additional
information would be useful.
