Default Word 8.5 partial print last line

When printing I get the last line of my letters partially printed.
Just the top half of the last line prints, the bottom half does not.
This occurs abut 3 inches up from the bottom of the page.

The top and bottom margins are set at 1 inch, and Headers and Footers
set at .5 inches. This just started happening. I had been able to
print full pages before. Anybody know what is happening?

Thanks for the reply. That doesn't seem to be my problem. I have old
files in Word that print full length. It's only new files I create
that are cut off at 3 inches above the bottom of the page. I have
compared the Page Setup of my old files with my new files and there is
no difference.

Interesting enough, while messing around with one of my new files I
tried adding a row of asterisks a few lines down from the end of the
letter. In that case, everything printed, including the asterisks.
Since it is bad form to send a letter with a row of asterisks at the
bottom, I don't consider this a viable option, only an interesting
phenomenon.

Still puzzled.

Are you using an HP laser printer? I seem to recall from a long time back a
problem with some HP drivers that resulted in this issue, but cannot find
the reference. If so update the printer driver.

Check that there is no zoom setting in the print dialog and that the paper
size setting in page layout matches the paper size defined in the printer
driver.

I'm using a HP Ink Jet C5180. Decided to remove and reinstall the
printer and it drivers. Problem solved. I have no idea what the
original problem was. Thanks agian for the responses.

Go to your HP Solution Center, click on Printer Settings, turn "minimize
margins" to OFF.
This worked for me.
