Hello. That's interesting, I wasn't aware that a printer would have margin
limitations, but then.... At the moment, my laptop/printer is at home and
I'm at work so I can't check for that limitation. But I do need to make a
clarification. Once I picked the page size which is 8.5 x 5.5 portrait with
the margins set equal all around and then follow that with the advance
setting and placing that in booklet form and ok' that, it will put one page
down and then a window will come up asking that in order for a book to work,
it requires that I have 4 pages total (multiples of 4) and do I want to do
that? And of course that is yes. If you click on page 1 you get just that
page (same with page 4) but if you click on page 2 or 3, you get both pages 2
and 3. And this is normal, correct? Now in my case, I put in a text box at
the top of all four pages and create a border all out to the maximum of the
left/right margin settings (keeping just within actually), you can then look
under page preview and look specifically at pages 2 and 3 you'll find BOTH
pages are shifted to the right by about 3/8 of inch (printing of course on
8.5 x 11 to get both pages) with the page on the right cut off at the margin
setting. Is this because of the printer margin limitation? To me, it looks
like its thinking that I'm going to put this into 3 ring binder and its
trying to compensate for that.

What are your printer limitations? As I mentioned before, the right-margin will
be larger in a landscape mode. This will be reflected in print preview. You will
not see this on page one but you will see it on page four and page three.
I don't know why you are getting the shift. I am not, no matter what printer I
use. Have you downloaded the save as a PDF add-in? See if saving to a PDF makes
a difference.

Is your printer driver current? Have you looked on the manufacturer's web site
to see if there is an updated driver?
It is always wise to completely remove a driver before installing/reinstalling.
