Non-printable area problems in Word 2007

[Andrew Ross]

I'm trying to print a document originally set-up in Word 2003 with the
margins set to the minimum for a HP Deskjet 5650 printer. However, now when
printing in Word 2007, it tells me that there are areas set outside the
printable area. If I fix the margins, they are much larger than they are
meant to be for the printer, with the result that I get a blank area at the
bottom of the printed page.
How can I get Word2007 and the printer to print up to it's correct
non-printable border?

Check the HP website for an updated printer driver, or contact them and ask
about the problem. They'll probably tell you it's Microsoft's problem (a
typical "pass the buck"), but it is their printer driver, so they're
responsible for getting it to work with each new version of Word.
