Printer not printing bottom border of MS Word file?

under page setup, there is a page size setting, this MUST match the printer setup and paper.

A4 is a diff size to letter paper, and can cause problems if documents are set to wrong size

Many HP printers I'm sorry to say cannot print anything below 1/2 inch from the bottom of the page. Check out the print margin information for the Deskjet 530 on this page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam...

What I suggest that you do is adjust your border settings on Microsoft word. I know you say you already tried to change the distance from the bottom of the page but that most likely won't help ( Word only lets you go up to a distance of 31 pt, less than 1/2 inch). Go to where you changed the distance again and you will see a setting that says "Measure From" Change that setting to "Text" and then adjust the border distances from the edges of your text on the page.

If that doesn't work you may need to buy another printer. I bought a printer (HP) that had a large bottom print margin like this and took it back the same day and got a printer that can print borderless. I don't think they should even make printers with such large margins!

Printing Borders In Word

I'm guessing that you set your border outside the print area for your printer. Most printers can print to within .3 or .25 inches of the edge of the page, but not beyond that. If you're closer than, say, .4 inches to the bottom of the page, try bring it up a bit. That should do the trick.

Change your page setup and set it to custom print. Then add a 1/4" or 1/2" to the layout. Then print the same document just to see if it goes further HP are terrible for the footer. THeir is always a 1/2" which you can't print.

Paper Size did it for me. In Windows 8.1, I went to the Page Layout tab, then Size, then more sizes and altered height DOW until it all fits and you can see it fits in the print preview pane.

check printer properties. go to page set up tab. select normal size in page layout. click ok. i hope this helps.

try to change the paper size in the page setup....

I did both but still not working its same.

Was looking for a good answer on this too
