printing graphics problem or layout?

I have a problem with printing a graphic using a hp 4200tn
printer. When I print out this graphic part of the graphic
will be notched over so it's not aligned with the rest of
the graphic. This happens no matter where I put the
graphic, the top the middle or the bottom of the page. The
graphic is about 2 inches long, and takes up the whole
width of the page. When I print I get the message that
something is out of the margins. However if I resize the
graphic to make it a bit smaller the graphic prints fine.

any suggestions?

Sure, I suggest resizing the graphic to make it a bit smaller. :-)

takes up the whole width of the page.

Most printers will not print the whole width of the page. They have
unprintable areas on all sides. See the printer spec sheet for your
printer.

If you tell the printer to print something that takes more width than
it can print, the printer driver is likely to do something bad, such
as shove the graphic over so that at least one end of it fits.
