SYMPTOMS
When you set up a custom page size using the Hewlett-Packard ColorSmart 9.3.2, 9.4, or 9.4.2 driver, the page appears to be set up properly in Word print preview, but everything is moved over as if it was printing on a letter-size page. If you check Preview on the print screen, the preview shows the text adjusted on a letter-size page. When it prints, there is a wide margin on the left, and the text is cut off on the right.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do the following:


 * 1) Click File. Click Page Setup.
 * 2) Under Media Size, click the drop-down list. Click Add Custom.
 * 3) Type a name for the Custom Size.
 * 4) Type the correct height and width.
 * 5) Click OK.
 * 6) Click Print.
 * 7) Click Preview.

The page size now appears to be correct in Preview. The page also prints correctly.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
