I am working with a Canon i450 model printer. All was fine until one day i fiddled with some setting somewhere, adjusting the margin, probably with a wordpad doc. Now I have probs most times i want to print a wordpad doc. The left side doesnt get printed, all the rest is fine but the left side is chopped off. I can fix that by moving all the lines over about 5 spaces but i have to do it manually.
Also, this doesnt happen with wordperfect or text documents, it only happens with wordpad documents.
I have tried to re-set wordpad settings already and failed. Can someone direct me to where i can fix this?
thanks
 
Guess i should have said that i tried that, doesnt help for some reason, no matter what the margin is set at.
I tried re-installing the printer drivers, but they are murder to install, the install didnt work, so i used goback and went back to before i uninstalled and re-installed the drivers.
Guess i will have to do an uninstall and re-install.
 
Try this,
In wordpad, cick on File, then page setup. In there under 'paper', make sure the paper is set to 'Letter' and make sure that all the margins are set to 1. This is the default settings in Wordpad. Say OK and wordpad should be back to normal.

Thanks very much!
I tried doing what you said, no luck.
I am going to experiment with the settings and then move them back again to one inch, see if that will help.
I really appreciate you folks trying to help me out!
