HP97 Printer Print Size

[teenix]

Most likely what John was saying.

If the carriage cannot move freely across while printing, it prints unevenly. This might be because the carriage binds a bit on the dirty guide shafts. Some very light lubricant on the bearing surfaces will also help after cleaning. The lubrication points are marked in the 97 service manual. I use a tiny amount of hair clipper oil.
