    Check Print preview and see if it looks ok and then print.

    Do you have the "Print Correctly" box ticked??

    Seriously, throw us a bone. What is it doing??

    Only when using Microsoft Word? Does other stuff print properly?
    Have you tried printing a test page? Is the paper straight?
    Without a proper description of the problem it's difficult.

    I used to have problems printing documents for Word. The problem with me was that the paper size kept on changing to 'legal' and not A4. Never found out why this happened (must have been an install option), but relatively easy to sort out.
  • Maybe even take a photo of a document that has not printed correctly if you can upload it to yfrog or the like. Then we can see if you mean paper alignment, or aligning of text (margins)
