Rick,
When you say that the output isn't consistent from page to page, are
you talking about the same layout, perhaps the same "print" file? or...?
I use a HP LJ-5000...very consistent/accurate. IMHO, "bad"
printer drivers (or other software) can absolutely destroy the accuracy
of any printer output.

The problem I've had is my laser printer doesn't produce accurate
artwork. It's not even consistent from page to page, so I haven't had any
luck trying to scale the original image to get an accurate print.
This is exacerbated by my wanting to use my CNC router to drill the
holes. Holes that are a little off when hand drilling are OK, but not so
much when CNC drilling.
Does anyone use a laser printer that produces repeatable and accurate
artwork?
