Margins on printed paper do not match view on doc

[westcoastme]

I just installed the printer on my new laptop with Windows 10. I tried printing a spreadsheet file that I've had for years. The printed copy had a large left border and almost no right border. It looked like it shifted the spreadsheet to the right. The preview showed the file correctly. I got the same result with A Word and PDF doc. I have re-aligned, rebooted, etc., but nothing changed.

@westcoastme, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

To assist you better, are you using the HP Smart app to print?

If yes, try printing from native apps like MS Word or Adobe Reader for PDFs and check if the issue persists.

I did all that before posting. I have discovered now that ALL my doc types print the same way so I suspect this is a Windows 10 issue, not a printer issue. I have 3 printers/3 different brands connected and all of them do the same thing. VERY frustrating.

If all the printers have the same issue, I believe you should contact Microsoft support for assistance.

Keep me posted for any other assistance.
