Hi @Elkie3,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If your HP Envy 5032 printer's margins are misaligned or have suddenly gone out of sync, you can try the following steps to reset or adjust them. This issue can typically be resolved through printer settings or software adjustments. Here’s how you can handle it:

1. Adjust Margins in Printer Settings

From the Printer Control Panel:

• On the printer’s control panel, navigate to Setup or Settings.
• Look for options related to Printer Settings, Paper Setup, or Print Settings.
• If your printer allows margin adjustments directly, adjust them as needed. Some printers might not have detailed margin settings accessible directly from the control panel but might offer paper size and type adjustments.Open a document or image you wish to print using any application (e.g., Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat).Go to File > Print or press Ctrl + P (Windows) / Command + P (Mac).
• Select your HP Envy 5032 from the list of printers.Click on Printer Properties, Preferences, or Properties (the name might vary depending on the application and operating system).Look for a tab or option related to Layout, Paper, or Page Setup.
• Adjust the margins or select a predefined margin option if available.

2. Use HP Smart Software

Open HP Smart App:

• Launch the HP Smart app on your computer or mobile device. If you don’t have it installed, download it from HP’s official site.

Select Your Printer:

• Choose your HP Envy 5032 from the list of connected printers.

Access Print Settings:

• Go to the Print section and select the document or image you want to print.

Adjust Margins:

• In the print setup options, look for margin settings or page layout adjustments and make the necessary changes.

3. Update or Reinstall Printer Drivers

• Visit HP Support and download the latest drivers for the HP Envy 5032.
• Install the drivers by following the on-screen instructions. This can resolve any issues with print settings that might be caused by outdated or corrupted drivers.

4. Perform a Printer Calibration

• Some printers offer calibration options to correct print alignment and margin issues.
• Check the printer’s control panel or HP Smart app for any calibration or alignment options and follow the instructions.

5. Perform a Printer Reset.

• On the printer’s control panel, go to Setup or Settings.Find the Printer Maintenance or Tools section.
• Look for a Factory Reset or Restore Defaults option and follow the instructions.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
