Stop auto correction of printable area

G

Guest

I keep getting a message "one or more margins are set outside the printable
area of the page. Choose the Fix button to increase the appropriate
margins". When I hit Fix it changes the left margin to 2.67". If I hit the
Ignore button it doesn't print the left side of the document, cutting off
about 2.67". I notice this mostly happens when I go into Page Setup and
change my document to Landscape. But this has also happened during Potriat
setting deleting the bottom 2.67" of my document. Can anyone help me?

Thank you.

Hi dplocheck

The 2.67" figure is characteristic of a known conflict between recent
versions of Word and the HP drivers for certain LaserJets. Some users report
that restarting Word will clear the problem temporarily. Using the Windows
printer driver will also solve that problem, but it may reduce functionality
(omit needed special features). Many users have reported that the drivers at
http://www.hp.com/pond/ljbeta/index.html solve the problem without reducing
functionality.
