Symptoms

Environment variable REPORTS_ADD_HWMARGIN is set to YES, and is working fine on one server, but on an identical server with the same OS, Reports environment and printer driver, the variable is not taking effect.

This environment variable specifies whether to include the printer hardware-based left margin. By default, this margin is ignored. The printing origin starts from the top-left corner (0,0) of the physical paper and not the printable area. This is to facilitate the design of reports independent of the printer hardware margin. These reports can then be deployed across various printers.

The default value for this environment variable is NO.
