[muglo] Re: Printing problem

Are you using OS X or OS 9? I'm guessing OS 9.

What you could try is to delete the preferences file associated with the 
printer's settings though there are other solutions.

(I'm assuming OS 9)

What apps are you using to print? MS Word?

In Page Setup ensure that Letter is selected as your default printer 
setting.

Create a new document in Word (or some comparable word processor). Create 
some text that will allow you to note the left-right and bottom-top margins. 
Open up the Print dialogue and click on a button that says default. That 
ought to reset any margin problems (It's been a long time since I used OS 
9).
