Jay told you what the problem was at the outset. The vast majority of
printer drivers do no support printing to the edge of the paper and those
that do often don't readily do so when printing from Word.
..
The PDF driver does not have such limitations.

I misclicked the helpful comment... no this does not work and is not
helpful.
You're failing to see the point here.... this is a FOOTER (a line of
information placed at the end of a page for purposes of
identification), NOT a paragraph, as I've been stating all along.
As detailed as it is in the images, the images state 'exactly' whats
happening when attempting to print to the printer.
Regardless, I've printed to an adobe pdf and it printed fine (as I
noted in the first photo, what it 'should' look like). However, when
I go to PRINT TO A PRINTER it displays (ie. the second image I
provided). Both Word and Adobe print exactly what it looks like in
the second image.
I've figured the issue is with the printer itself and does not support
bleeding. So, I'll have to purchase one that does.

Instead of changing the margins, format the paragraphs in the footer
so that they have a negative right and left indent equal to the
setting of the margins.

I've given this a try, but then it reformats (removes all margins)
my entire
document and I don't like that.

Need some help printing a document with footers. When I go to
print the footers are printed with margins (side / bottom). What
I like it to do is
print the footer the entire width of the page.
Word displays the footer the correct way,

This is forced by your printer. Unless you have a photo printer or
something
like that, which can print all the way to the edge of the paper,
you'll always
have an unprintable margin.
