The short answer...No.  This falls in the perogative of the printer
manufacturer and their programmers who write the drivers.  It sounds
like you are bending the rules and getting away with it on one printer
but not on the other.  It would recommend trying to print in a
different, slightly smaller font that will accomodate the printer.

For example, there are fixed spacing fonts and variable spacing fonts;
Wider fonts and narrower fonts.  Perhaps by changing the font you are
using you can squeeze in a millimeter or two and get your printer to
cooperate.

Hope this helps,
