I am having trouble printing landscape oriented documents with Windows XP and
a Brother HL1440 printer. I just downloaded the driver from the Brother Web
site but it still gives me this problem. Is this a WORD problem or a printer
problem. I cannot reset the right margin. When I see the document in print
preview, it looks fine. The printer wants to make the right margin about 2.75
inches and I can't seem to reset it. Let me know ifyou have any ideas.
Thanks, MCC

It's me again. I am using WORD 2003 and the HL1440 printer driver is the WHQL
certified Regular printer driver v1.42 , dated 09may2002, downloaded fromthe
Brother web site. Also, this problem is new. Until yesterday, I was printing
landscape fine. I am also working with SAS pc and wonder if it could be
interfering. The problem seemed to start when I began to have trouble
printing an RTF document that I created with SAS's ODS (output delivery
system). But I also seem to recall that I once had a similar problem before
but solved it. Although I may be dreaming.

See whether it is trying to make the margin 2.67 inches, or whether it
is really 2.75 inches.

2.67 inches is the value that usually shows up for a bug that mostly
gets reported for HP printers. Microsoft would like to blame HP for
it, but if it is happening on Brother printers too, it might be Word
or GDI+ or some other piece of common Microsoft code. I think this is
the second time I have seen this one on Brother printers.

I'm having the same problem. It happened after I tried to print a custom size
document (in Publisher) on a Samsung Laser printer and again on a Mita. Now,
even when I try to use a previously saved document, and try to use it as a
default, it won't hold. Now all my new docs in landscape won't let me type
beyond a 6" inch line. Preview looks fine. Can't figure out what's going on
here.
