AppleWorks 6.1.2 and Canon S400 3.6.2 glitch

When printing on a Canon S400, AppleWorks does not print the rightmost part of the document. Brad Mitchell writes: "On the right hand side of the document some words are being cutoff. For example, 'and' appears as 'ar' and 'specification' becomes 'specificatior.' I have checked the margins and they appear OK. I even have tried making the text area smaller to no success. The same behavior appears with AppleWorks 6.0.4, however, the same documents print fine to a Epson 670."

    Update: Christopher Osborn adds: "I have a Cannon S450 and have had this problem since I bought the printer a year ago. It occurs with some regularity when printing from Netscape or Eudora, and occasionally from MS Word (5, 6 and 98). If I either use a TrueType font (and turn off ATM) or increase ATM's memory, it sometimes will fix the problem."

    Colin Anderson adds: "I have been having the exact same problem, albeit with AppleWorks 5.0.4 and a Canon S450. Neither Canon nor Apple were able to offer any suggestions, and fiddling with margin settings and page scaling had no effect. The problem also seems to only appear when using certain fonts, especially Helvetica."
