Default Margins outside printable area

The different driver may certainly have a different unprintable area, but
(as you suspect) 1.25" is totally unreasonable. Try going online to see if
you can find a better driver from the printer manufacturer instead of
settling for the one included with Windows.

Having transferred Word 2000, my documents and my old printer to a new
computer, I'm now being told that "One or more margins are set outside
the printable area of the page". The problem is with the bottom
margin, which I've long had set at 0.9". Word now wants to change it
to 1.25". Thing is, nothing has changed apart from the PC and OS. My
previous machine had the original WinXP Home; the new one has WinXP
Pro SP2. In each case, I've installed the printer using the driver
that came with Windows. Could a difference in the driver be the
problem, or should I be looking elsewhere?

TIA,
