Left Side of Page Doesn't Print

I recently installed Tiger. Everything was fine for about a week. All of a sudden when I print a Microsoft Word document or Adobe Acrobat the left quarter of the page does not print. The document looks like it's cut off. It prints documents in Excel and Powerpoint and Text Edit just fine. I updated the print drivers, and reinstalled Microsoft office but it didn't help. Anyone have any other suggestions?

PowerBook F4, Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi there,

When you print from Word (File > Print rather than pressing the Printer icon) you can have a quick preview of the document display in the Print dialog. Does this show the left side of the document missing?

If it does, in Word, go to File > Page Setup and check the Format For, Page Size and Scale settings. Set the Format For menu to your printer, ensure the page size is supported by the printer and the scale is 100%.

Regards,

Paul
