Solve : Printer and margin problem?

Answer»

Hi,

I'm having problems with the MARGINS of the papers i'm printing out. On microsoft word (or internet), when i try to print out something, it seemed as though everything is shifted down on the paper so that the top margin BECOMES way bigger than the bottom margin (doesn't match what it shows on my computer screen).

So how do I solve this?

Thanks,
Tess

Tess Daka....Have you tried adjusting the header ?
look over on the left hand side ........put your cursor on the top margin and when it changes to a double arrow move it up to where you want it .


dl65  the margins/header/footer are normalhttp://www.comm.niu.edu/telematics/tutorials/word/margins.htmlReally, truly, it's more complicated than that.  I know how to adjust margins, etc. I know about headers, footers, gutters. However, the problem about this printer is that it doesn't just apply to microsoft word documents. It applies to anything I try to print including web PAGES (and yes, I know those margins are correct).  The printer just doesn't match the margin that the computer indicates on the screen.  

My printer can also copy documents.  When I copy, there's no margin problems, so it's not a printer problem.  My computer does HAPPY to connect to a main computer that connects to the printer (maybe that MAKES a difference?).  

Well, I hope someone will understand it's more than just microsoft word margins.  

Thanks for the responses though.Look at print preview first. The part of Word where you write your document is not an interactive print preview. Your computer only takes into account how things such as margins would affect the printout when you look at print preview. In the editing part, it's more of a "guess".

Make sure the paper is loaded correctly into the printer. Try printing out a document to that printer using the other computer and if you can try using your computer to print on another printer. Then we will know what is causing the problem.
