If you have set the border to be "from text" instead of "from edge of page"
and not to include the footer and have established a bottom margin that is well within the printable area of the page, then this should work. If Word is trying to enforce an unreasonable unprintable area (especially if it's 2.67" and this is an HP LaserJet), then that is a different issue. -- Suzanne S.

Ugh I have been having the exact same problem.
My printer is an hp deskjet 3650 if that is any help to anyone. The bottom prints at work but not from my home computer. I've done what everyone has suggested and still no luck. I did notice that it prints when the page size is set to 'letter', but not to A4. |

I can't see the bottom of the border in preview or print mode?
Thanks, Eric, I have two HP Office Jets and have been struggling with this.

I, too, am having a problem with the bottom of my footer not printing
completely. I have an HP OfficeJet and have checked everywhere in my menus, preference, etc. but do not see Minimise Margins. Could you provide details on where you located this option?

I don't think HP printers have this option. See

MKate,
Open any document, then do "File", then "Print", then click on "Properties", then click on tab "Advanced", Under "Document Options", "Printer Features", you'll see "minimize margins" "Off". Click it to "on" and you will probably solve your problem. Ms Vice President really needs to know her products better than she does, not sure how she got to be the VP of much of anything.
