I have a brand new Windows 7 x64 Dell Vostro. I am trying to print to multiple printers, and EVERY ONE prints with the edges (left and right) cut off, even a brand new printer that we just bought last week. I've tried network printers, local printers, and shared printers. No other computers here have that problem.

I've tried "Shrink to %," but that just narrows the width of the printed page, and STILL cuts everything off.

Are there global print settings on a computer that affect all printers?

Right click on the printer (from Control Panel) and select Printer Properties and send a test page and see if that is correct.

Even test pages were getting cut off. I finally decided to create an additional user account on the computer and send test jobs. This worked. I ended up creating a profile for her and moving all the files over.

Thanks for your suggestions!

That is odd. I wonder if the default paper size was changed. Oh well, I am glad you got it sorted out.
