This message and measurement are typical indications of a conflict between
Word and the HP driver for certain LaserJets. Some users report that
restarting Word will clear the problem. Using a Windows driver instead of
the HP one will as well, but you may lose some HP features. Many users have
reported that the drivers from

I start off with a blank document with default settings. I create a
document. When I try to print it, Word comes back with a message: "the
margins of section 1 are set outside the printable area of the page". If
I
go into Page Setup to fix the margins Word insists on setting the bottom
margin to 2.67". How can I fix this?
