Unwanted Print Area Setting
Inconsistently, and in different documents (sometimes old ones, sometimes new
ones), Word wants to force a bottom margin of 2.67 inches. If I go into Page Layout to change a setting, when I click OK, I get the following error message: One or more margins are set outside the printable area of the page. Choose the Fix button to increase the appropriate margins. If I choose Fix, the bottom margin changes to 2.67. If I choose Ignore, the bottom 2.67 inches of my pages does not show in Print Preview and does not print. If I exit and relaunch the program, the bottom margin returns to 1. This seems to happen only when I have more than one document open at a time. How is print area set? Is this a printer-driver problem? I print to several different network printers, but most often to an HP LaserJet 4050 TN. This has our IT techs stumped. |

Unwanted Print Area Setting
That specific margin setting usually points to a conflict between some
versions of Word and the HP drivers for certain LaserJet printers. Although numerous workarounds have been posted (including using the Windows driver instead, though that may make some proprietary features unavailable), most users report success from using the drivers available from http://www.hp.com/pond/ljbeta/index.html -- Suzanne S.

Unwanted Print Area Setting
Thank you. Unfortunately, a fix for this problem apparently is not available
for my printer (LJ 4050) and OS (WinXP). But I will pursue it with HP. "Suzanne S.

If there is any driver available for your printer, give it a whirl. Or use a
driver for a similar (4000-series) printer. -- Suzanne S.
