I can't get my business cards to line up when I print them
Hi,
I believe this user may have a valid point, though I don't understand why you are not getting more calls on this problem. I just purchased an HP 6540xi Deskjet. Are you using a Borderless print setup to print the cards? I am having a similar problem, and it only occurs with the Microsoft Office products (both Powerpoint and Publisher). I don't understand what you mean by "moves upward". My problem is that MS is stretching the image in the lengthwise direction. Even though the paper measures 11" long, and the image is set up at 11" long in MSO, the image is about .25" too long for the paper when printed. It prints fine in the widthwise direction. I have tried printing images from other software packages and it works fine. One difference is that MS seems to use their own driver to print. I have the driver set up to show a preview from the printer driver before it prints. It shows this preview when I print from other packages, but not when I print from MS Office products. Any thoughts? This is not a printer issue per se, because it does print images sized to the full page just fine from other packages. I am, so far, only seeing this problem from Office products.

The cards do not have an avery number but I have carefully measured all of the margins and put them into the page set up screen - the cards are 10 to a page (5 rows of 2) and do not have a gap between them so I have set the horizontal and vertical gap fields to 0. When I print them the first card is aligned correctly but then the printing on each successive one moves slowly upwards. After two or three cards they are totally misaligned. I have checked the settings several times but can find nothing wrong with them. What am I doing wrong? I can't think of anything else to check. Thanks Jon |

See about updating your printer driver from the HP website or contact HP direct. -- Brian Kvalheim Microsoft Publisher MVP http://www.publishermvps.com This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. |
