[Koha] Printing Slip Issues

[Chris Cormack]

First thing I would try is printing from notepad, once you get that behaving right (to the slip printers ... using the proper drivers) next thing would be opening a file in your browser and tweaking the settings for margins etc until that prints right.

Once you can print nicely from your browser the only thing you might want to do is add or remove some <p> tags in the slip templates so they print out right.
