printing text with cells formatted for justified alignment

[L Drake]

I use a MacBook operating on OS X 10.4.7. I use an HP Photosmart C3180
(All-in-One) printer.
Both of them are brand new.
I spent 3 hours on the phone with HP, removing and reinstalling the
printer software but my problem is not solved. This is what happens:
whenever I format a cell alignment and use 'justify' in order to fit
more than one line of text in one cell, within the parameters of the
column, the first two characters of the second line of the justified
text DOES NOT PRINT. It looks like the text has bled into the column
on its left and is hidden under that column. However, the worksheet
looks normal, print preview looks normal, the problem only manifests on
the hard copy. I tried changing margins, column width, etc. but the
problem persists. PLEASE HELP!
