I'm having problems printing to a specific printer. I cant print in landscape, I cant manual feed, and I get this error message "The Margins of Section 1 are set outside the printable area of the page." Now I'm only getting this message with Word and nothing else. I've tried following steps to help fix the margins, but still I cannot seem to correct this problem. Any suggestions?

What printer is it?

Problem: Error message "Margins are outside the printable area of the page"
To determine the minimum margins for your printer: Open a blank document. Set all margins to zero, and hit OK. You should be told that your margins are outside of the printable area, and choose to Fix or Ignore it. Choose FIX. Go back into the margins and see what they have been changed to. These are the minimum margins of which your printer is capable. You may want to set your Word default margins to be at least as large as the minimums.
For best results in all documents, determine the minimum margins you'll use for all documents. I like to use 1.0" margins all the way around.
To change Word's default margins for your computer, hit File-Page Setup, choose the Margins tab. Change your margins and hit the DEFAULT button at the lower-left of the dailog. This will NOT change existing documents; only new ones.
