Default page numbers are cut off in footer

First check your page size in File | PageSetup | Paper. Is it A4 or US
Letter? Next go to File | Print and Properties and check the paper size is
the same. If these are the same then ...

What is your bottom margin? Printers usually need at least 25 mm or 1 inch
some need more. You may just need to give extra space to your footer. Go to
File | Page Setup | Layout and increase the Footer space a little.

Does this solve your problem?

That's all beautifully technical and I appreciate it, but how exactly do I do
that stuff?

Inkjet printers have minimum margins for paper advancement. Make sure your
margins meet the minimum requirements, and make sure the footer margin and
bottom margin aren't conflicting, resulting in truncating the printout.

I have a six month old HP 5940 Deskjet printer. On both saved and new
documents when I print the document it cuts off half of the page number
located in the right footer postion (only the top 1/2 of the number prints).
This is very, very annoying. HP tech support says it's not the printer's
fault, but neither the Canon or Lexmark printers I've owned ever did this.
Please help.
