When you get the colums the way you want, you have to cut and paste each page of text into the left or right side of the table, depending on whether you are on an even or odd page. When I got everything lined up, then I turned the table borders off. While I was testing, I left the table borders on. To achieve this, I set the left margin to. on I did the same, except set the size on the first colum to match the exact width for the text. I inserted a 1 row/2 column table on page 1 and set the second column the exact width I wanted on the text column. Because of the duplexing problem, you can't do this. Normally, you would use a gutter for the blank edge with mirrored margins to shift the text for the even and odd pages. The blank edge is where the binding coils would go. When it prints, using the duplex feature, the text on both sides should lay out on the same side of the paper, lining up exactly from front to back. I'm going to fully document this for folks who might be trying to do book printing layouts. However, exchanging a printer that I paid $499 for, for a printer that is only $169 makes the inconvenience of extra work on my files less painful. The Photosmart printer has the duplex capability and it also does not print out true margins. I have done the following: I returned the HP Officejet L7780 to the store and exchanged it for the HP Photosmart C6280 All-in-One. Thank you for checking into workarounds for me. The front and back margins should match and they don't.Īny help you can provide would be very much appreciated. The easiest way see the problem is by holding the document up to the light. Print the document, selecting the printer properties and setting Print on Both Sides=Automatic. On the second page, fill it up with text.

Insert an image on page one, size it so it takes the full margin area. The way I have replicated this problem is as follows: set up a document in landscape format, using the default margins.
This would be annoying, except that I'm trying to print brochures and books, which requires that the pages print out exactly as set up.
So if your margin is 1 inches on right and left, the margins will print to. If you print a landscape document, using the auto duplex setting for the HP printer, the margins will print out offset by. All of the service packs have been installed for the operating system, word, and printer. I've also had this same problem (repeatable) with two other computers, running XP Professional/Word 2003, XP Home/Word 2003.
