Printing off the page to the right

[Guest]

For some reason when I print (HP1100 Laser Jet) using MS Word some documents
print half the page (it is shifted to the right and cutoff by about 40-50%)

This doesnt happen on ALL documents, and the page layout/margins, etc look
good. I reinstalled the print driver as well from HP's website.

It only happens when I print to my local HP1100 printer.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi =?Utf-8?B?aXR6IG5pbg==?=,

Unfortunately, you don't mention the version of Word involved in the problem.
My first thought was, that this is Word 2002 or 2003 and Track Changes is
activated in the documents where this is happening...

But it might be best for you to ask in the word.printingfonts newsgroup, where
you'll find people who specialize in printing problems.

Sorry here is some more information on my problem.

Word 2003 SP1, Windows XP Pro SP1

The best way to describe the problem is, it would appear (after printing)
that the left margin starts in the middle of the page, and the rest of the
page gets cutoff on the right.

The problem is sporadic, as it happens only sometimes. If it isn't working,
and the document is reopened, SOMETIMES that will fix the problem. Obviously
it's not fixing anything it is just allowing it to print correctly. This
workaround only works 10% of the time.

Never heard of anything like it, before. Sounds as if it could be
printer-driver related, so the first thing to do would be to check with the
manufacturer and update the printer driver. If the problem persists, the best
place to get help would be the word.printingfonts newsgroup.
