-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Printer not printing whole page on the Net

My HP does not have enough memory so on occasion it
will print all except the bottom inch of the page.  This only
occurs on a very graphic intensive page (like a page from
the internet.)  I have a HP 5P printer that I have used without
problems since the day I bought it for my Apple II computer
so I have been using it about 20 years.  My how time flies
when you're having fun.  :^)
