It does seem odd, but I think you can assume that *something* has changed.
Trying to figure out what it is is probably not a good use of your time.

Thank you.
I just can't help but wonder why this problem has only come up for me as
of
the last six months or so. Same printer, same software, etc. Odd.
At any rate, at least now I don't have to deal with the error message any
more.

necessarily advisable.
I just checked this for my DJ 6122 and was surprised to see that, while
the
bottom margin is the expected (and acceptable) 0.5", the side margins are
a
usable 0.25", and the top margin is 0.07"!

Thanks, Suzann. I tried, and curiously enough it's "fix" for the bottom
margin is .56". I find that strange. Is the problem my printer (a very
conventional HP 6110)?

I agree that half an inch should be adequate for most printers. In
Page
Setup, set all your margins to 0" and click OK. You'll get a message
that
the margins are outside the printable area and an offer to fix them.
Accept
the offer and note what margins result; those will be the default
minimums.
You can then cancel out of the dialog without actually changing them.
If
the
bottom margin is actually more than 0.5", you can decide how to
proceed
from
there.

This has worked on my documents in the past.

What is your footer (not bottom) margin?

Since about six months ago I've been getting error messages
telling
me
that
each section (I don't use sections!) footer (I don't have footers
other
than
page numbers!) goes beyond the printable page. I get these
everytime
I
try
to
print a document. I've checked the margin sizes and everything
and
as
far
as
I can tell nothing's changed. Any ideas?
