Printing forms

Hello.

I have several forms that come up in the IE6 browser. On all of the
computers but one, the forms print fine. The one lone computer that cannot
print these forms produce the error message:

"The margins of section 1 are set outside the printable area of the page. Do
you want to continue?"

If you continue and print the form, it only prints the right half of the
page regardless or orientation.

The version of IE6 and the version of Word 2002 are the same on all
computers. The only difference in this computer is that the default
printer is a LaserJet 5si rather than a LaserJet 5.

The Microsoft Knowledge Base points this error to Microsoft Word and not to
the browser. The fix is not applicable in the browser.

Does anyone have an idea of how to correct this on this one computer?

Thanks.

You may need to change the margin settings in IE on that machine. See this
article for more info:

Frame or Table Text Is Cut Off at the Right Margin When Printing Web Pages

If no joy, try updating the printer drivers for that printer from HP's web
site. Also check the margin settings or other print sizing settings in the
printer settings as well.

Another troubleshooting tip would be to connect the troublesome machine to a
different printer to see if it's the computer or printer that's causing this
issue, if possible.
