No. I'm gonna take a CD in with me with some of my patts on when I go to buy a new one and if they won't let me try, then no buy :lol:
The Printer company were no help said it was a microsoft prob, But seeing as it does it on all my programms not just MS, I didn't think so. Any way I contact MS (very helpful by the way) they confirmed what I already thought, said it was the way the printer interpreted the data, so prob no fix for it. Which leaves me with having to buy a new printer, you can be sure I won't be buying any dang thing untested :lol:

I have owned 2 HP printers and LOVED both of them. The first one I messed up myself trying to get a paper jam pulled out THE WRONG WAY! I went out and got another HP only this time I got an HP Photosmart C5180-All in One...I love it and it's a work horse around here. I do pictures, meeting letters & minutes, church stuff, and lots of volunteer printing and it has given me great service for over a year now and it does great. BOTH HP's have printed true to size every time I've used it. The nice part of all of this is I think both printers cost in the neighborhood of $100....not expensive for the amount of work I've gotten out of it.
