MS Office formatting won't be preserved either, if you have two 
otherwise identical machines with different printer drivers. There are 
all sorts of things that will cause the layout to be inconsistent 
between different machines. If you need consistent formatting use a PDF 
or present the document on the machine you wrote it on. If you expect 
anything else you have failed to both notice and understand what is 
going on.

Now can we all stop feeding the trolls and let this thread die?
