Tractor feed printers margin issues in Windows 8.1

Attempting to print from two different Windows 8.1 systems to three different (2 are the same brand Epson FX-890) tractor feed printers results in the entire document printing but the right margin is about 25-30% in the page resulting in everything printing out of alignment.

I have reinstalled the drivers changed every setting I can think of. I spoke with Epson tech support which referred me to Microsoft Tech Support which is not free. The exact same documents print just fine using these printers on Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8 we only experience this problem with Windows 8.1 systems.

I know that isn't a lot to go on but thanks in advance for any help, at this point my only option is to revert the system back to Win 8.

Thanks.

    So, what about the fact that April 2014 Windows 8 . x update on the horizon.,......will this break this supposed fix?  It would be sinful to redeploy clients and have to relive the nightmare Microsoft has the history of imposing on its' users.....
