SYMPTOMS
When you print a document in Microsoft Word, landscape-oriented pages in the document may not be properly scaled to the paper size.

 * 4) When you print the document, you scale the paper size to a different size in the Print dialog box than you previously specified under Page Setup.

NOTE: This behavior does not occur on all printers.
