Problem printing A4 pages

Using HP Laserjet 1100A with latest drivers, on Windows 2000 Pro SP4
No other printing problems EVER from this PC to this printer
Problem has arisen recently, after a Windows Update (not sure just when /
which, but I did one just an hour ago)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Need to set ridiculously small margins (File|Page setup) -

example - Left 1.5mm, Right 1.5mm

(A4 page, metric - note MILLIMETRES not INCHES or Centimetres)

Else the printed page has margins generally more than an inch (sometimes 2
inches) wide,
and more than 15% of the page width doesn't show !!

I have fully documented this with screen captures - I know the USA doesn't
understand metric measures, but 15 mm is NOT 2 inches!!

Yes, that's exactly what I am posting about. I had a setting of 15mm top,
bottom, left, right and when I printed the page, (URL is at the bottom, so
you can test) it chopped off the right side.
I found I had to re-set the L and R to 1.5mm to 2.5mm

I'm talking metrics here - an inch is about 25mm, so you can see that 2.5mm
is about 0.1 inches.

As I said, nonsense.
