Page Border not printing at bottom despite using all options

[I-hate-page-borders]

Here Goes.....I have added a graphical page border. I have reduced the bottom border margin distance to 0 point, I have reduced the bottom page margin to 1.6 (the minimum for the printer), I have tried both measure from text and from page options and the border STILL is not visible in print preview (it is visible in print layout - but is too low to print). Can anyone advise of any other method for making the bottom border print higher on the page?

Hey, I am having the same problem. I even checked the printer settings to no avail. and it prints at the top and sides even though those are in the margins, but just not at the bottom. What is up? Help help help

okay, I think it is a printer default that can't be changed, so I finally got it to work by changing the way word applies the borders. go to format on the menu bar, then go to Borders and Shading..., then on the Page Border tab, in the bottom right hand corner click on options, then in the Border and Shading Option window, where it says measure from, click the drop down arrow and select text. Not the greatest, but all I can say is it worked for me.
