Printing is missing half the form

Hello.
I'm trying to print a form that the actual size of should only take up a
quarter of the page.
Not a lot on it. Few fields all of which are only Font 8.
But in print preview I only get half the form showing and it's taking up the
whole page.
As though it's been enlarged.
When I print, I also only get half of the form but small and in the middle
of the page where a lot of space is empty around it.
I've tried changing the margin but it makes it worse not better.

I've looked in Help, but was no help, it says this happens when there is no
printer installed. But in my case there is. The Access file is in a shared
folder on one of the servers on the network, it is easily accessed. I am
printing with no problem.
And when I created a new form and copied all the fields of the first form, I
get the whole form showing and printing.
But I cannot see where the difference is in the setup.
Please any help. Feeling very stupid!

Forms are not really designed to be printed. Build a report with the data
you want and print that.

You can even put a button on your form to print the report.
