printing pdf cuts off top of pages

When I try to print a pdf (from safari or from preview) the top of page 2 and subsequent pages

is cut off.


If the PDF is in landscape -- the right side of the print is cut off.


I have talked wtih apple (mac) support and to HP support -- without any luck.

Printing the same document from a windows PC works just fine <sign>


Anyone have any ideas?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

It's not just one app the issue being with both Safari and Preview...... must be the printer software.


Maybe a corrupted printer preference ...


Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder


Type or copy paste the following:


~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.PrinterProxy.plist


Click Go then move the com.apple.print.PrinterProxy.plist file to the Trash.



Try printing.

Linc Davis -- all PDFs


First appeared with the PDFs on my financial institution account sites. (account statements). Work fine from

my windows PC -which I am trying really hard to retire (permanently). But I can't until I get this fixed.

Even if I just download them and never intend to print a hard copy -- the top (or right side if landscape) is cut off

starting with page 2 forward.
