Printing to far to the left cutting off some characters.

[Paul]

When printing in Outlook 2000 everytime I print a new
email the printer decides to print to far to the left and
cut off some of the characters I have tried changing the
format in outlook and on the printer but it doesn't seem
to make a differance. If you have any idea let me know.

Paul, I came to this newsgroup so I could post the same
concern or in hopes of finding the answer already listed.
I hope we can get an answer to this question. Thanks,
Wanda

I am having the same problem. I've tried a detect and
repair and install office (neither worked).

Just went thru 2 hour call to MS. Same problem w/
Outlook Express 2003. Solution finally arrived at: Go
into IE, FIle, Page Setup or Print Setup (forget which)
and look at margin settings. Mine were at default .25
left & right. Set both to .75 and prints fine now.
Would bet you could get away with .50 as well. Hope this
helps someone else!!

I was having this issue on Outlook 2000 with HP 4000
series printers. However, the issue was always the HTML
Formated Email this user received. Plain Text and Rich
Text Formats printed Fine. What I ended up Doing was
upgrading Internet Explorer from 5.5 to 6 with Service
Pack 1. My user has not had any problems printing HTML
formated emails from Outlook since the upgrade.
On a side note. I still never did figure out the issue.
Other than some code in Outlook when It is using IE to
read the HTML format.

This makes sense...Windows would use the IE engine to
process any HTML doc...I had the same problem on a few
machines here once we switched over to allow HTML email
and after changing the margin settings it works like a
charm.

I found this on here in another article from Kevin. Thanks Kevin!

In IE, Change the Page Setup margins to 0.75. If you're having thi
problem, they're probably defaulted to 0.25.
