MS Office Forum / Word / Printing and Fonts / February 2005Document printing off the page to the right
For some reason when I print (HP1100 Laser Jet) using MS Word 2003 SP1 some documents print half the page (it is shifted to the right and cutoff by about 40-50%) 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. 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. 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. If it happens only sometimes and only with one printer, I would be looking to the printer driver (and not Word) for a solution. For a start, make sure you're feeding the paper where the printer is expecting to find it.  SignatureSuzanne S.

There is one input on a HP1100 so it is taking the paper fine. > If it happens only sometimes and only with one printer, I would be looking > to the printer driver (and not Word) for a solution.

What I meant was that you are feeding the paper where the printer is printing. For smaller paper sizes, for example, some printers expect the paper to be on the left, some on the right, some in the center. SignatureSuzanne S.

It also only happens on the HP1100 Laserjet local printer, not the network printers. I updated to their latest printer driver and that didn't seem to the fix the problem. I'm assuming there is nothing I can do at this point because it may be a problem with the print driver. > What I meant was that you are feeding the paper where the printer is > printing.
