    Can you try it on another PC to eliminate the possibility of the printer being at fault?

    When you removed the printer and reinstalled, did you use the driver off the Lexmark site?

    If the width of the Detail Section + Left Margin Width + Right Margin Width is greater than the width of the paper on which you are printing then you will get this affect.

    Try changing to landscape or change the margins.

    Silly suggestion time, if it's going through the motions try changing the font colour to say blue.
