    Ever since I installed Leopard, I am not printing properly on the HPLaserJet1200 attached to a PC on our office network. It doesn't print the first 2 inches of my Word document:

    [​IMG]

    I'm supposed to have the school logo, the date, and the salutation on top, but it only starts printing at the greeting and all the way up the page! The paper I used was 8.5 x 13, but it looks as if I were just printing on a Letter Size paper. I checked all my paper size settings on Page Setup and on the Print Setup windows, and both are on 8.5 x 13. :(

    Help!!! :(

    My printing was fine at first. I use my HP all in one printer. BUt one time, I ran out of paper and the printing stopped. Now, when I clicked on resume, the HP window says printing paused. I cannot resume anymore.... can anyone help?

    Update: Sorry guys, I forgot to update. Just recently I realized the problem. I created a custom size for Long Bond since it's only measured as 8.5" x 13". This, I realized, is the culprit of my printing problems. US Legal is supposed to be 8.5" x 14". From some other forum, I read someone having the same problem as mine, and the only solution he had was to use the Legal size and just adjust the margin at the bottom. I did the same, and now I can print on Long Bond properly. :) Haven't tried printing landscape, but theoretically, it should now print properly too. :)

    @surgfish, that happens to me too, and I would do what Rommel suggested, and it works fine. :)

    had a similar problem but with another printer - epson. really had a difficult time finding out until I tried another version of the driver. Found out that there are diff versions of same name drivers for diff regions. Upon trying it out, it worked!
