Subject: [mso] Re: Margins in Landscape printing

As a test I checked that for Portrait the top of the page is printed first
from Word 2003 on my HP Deskjet 820Cse.  For Landscape the Right side is
printed first.  The blank paper is fed in in the same way for all printing. 
The default margin for the Top (0.04") in Portrait is the same as that for
the Right in Landscape.  The default margin for the Bottom (0.46") in
Portrait is the same as that for the Left in Landscape.  That seems correct
since the printer permits printing closer to the edge of the paper that
passes first through the printer (the Top in Portrait and Right in
Landscape) and requires a larger magin at the end of the paper (the Bottom
in Portrait and Left in Landscape).
I can't find anything in the Printer setup allowing the setting of default
margins so I must assume they are defined in the printer driver as Dian
indicated.  Other web sites also indicate the same.  So contacting Lexmark
about the problem may be the only solution.

Also check your printer settings.  IIRC it is more normal for the left to be
the top in landscape.  There might be a way of getting the printer to
reverse this.

(I can't check at the moment, my printer is about 300 km away from the
house
I'm for the next couple of days.)
