I have looked online to try and resolve the issues regarding the printer not printing the bottom of my pages.
It doesn't matter if I'm using open office, Microsoft word, Internet explorer none of them make a difference
I have tried realigning and scanning the page numerous times.
I have put in new cartridges
I have checked ink levels and cleaned the heads.
I have turned it off and on again
I have changed borders on pages and checked the paper settings.
Am I missing something?
I am running a business where I am printing labels and this is wasting so many labels. 4 from every sheet are wasted.
Any other help would be appreciated.

"Am I missing something?"
Possibly, though much depends on whether this has ever worked before.
For example, the bottom edge margin hardware limitation is larger than the others:
Print Margin Bottom (A4) | 12.7 mm |
Print Margin Left (A4) | 3 mm |
Print Margin Right (A4) | 3 mm |
Print Margin Top (A4) | 3 mm |
Labels, regardless of the size of the template / label sheet generally must be printed at "Actual Size".
Your template / label paper must accommodate the .5 inch for the bottom margin.
