Unfortunately yes... Meditech has told us this is the only option.

So is everyone going out and buying new printers for the UB04? Ours are
older models, without the edge-to-edge printing...

The problem is our print is not an edge-to-edge printer so we can't
adjust the X or Y printing settings and all of these from the L have
newer printers.
We need help with our printers purchased 7 years ago.

Well, I have some good news (and hopefully my last post on the topic).
After many tedious and excruiating hours of testing, I think I have
found the settings that will work. The keys to getting this to work
are:
1. First, finding the CPI settings that will allow ALL characters on
the line to print.
2. Then, finding the proper horizontal edge-to-edge setting that
aligns the form correctly.
By no means is the form perfect. Unlike Meditech's programming for
the UB92, which they did a very good job on and is almost flawless,
Meditech's programming of the UB04 has left a lot to be desired; in
fact, I would be embarrassed to send this form out to payers with
the way that some of the fields are lined-up within the blocks. But
it DOES print all of the characters, and for the most part, the
characters that don't fit nicely within the blocks are probably not
critical data fields.
Here are the settings that I have found work the best:
ELF:
CPI: 10.12 (this is the key; it is the smallest value that
allows all characters on the line to print)
Left Margin: 0.20
LPI: 6
Top Margin: 0.095
HP 4250 Printer Quality:
X1: -4
Y: 0
Good luck, everyone.
