NEED HELP - WORD 2007 DOCUMENTS KEEP PRINTING A (1 INCH GAP) AT THE BOTTOM OF MY PRINTED DOCUMENTS

Would really appreciate help as I can't get my head around this problem.  I have set the Margins to ( Top = 0.3", Bottom = 0", Right and Left = 0.2", Gutter = 0" and Gutter Position = Top) with (Header or Footer = 0" and Vertical Alignment = Top in page setup of Word 2007) to keep all the text on one page.  When I preview the document it look fine but when I print it out it leave and inch of space under the last group of text.  I am using an Epson all in one printer and I have not had this problem before and is happening with every Word document I print documents with a full page of text.  Does anyone no of a solution to this ?.

Does the actual paper size match the paper size that Word thinks it is printing onto?

I would be very surprised if your printer supports a 0" bottom margin. Usually there is an irreducible minimum (not usually an inch but often at least half an inch) on the trailing edge (the bottom of portrait pages) required for paper handling.

As has been suggested, if your footer margin is not also set to 0", that might be part of the problem. For other factors, see http://WordFAQs.mvps.org/BottomLine.htm.

Thank you for your reply, Well it did say that the print range was out of the range and ask if I wanted to fix it.  I said no only because I usually leave the margins at 0.5 at the Top and Bottom which is normally enough but at the moment it is still leaving an inch below the last line of text at the bottom of the document.

Check that you have no scaling option set in the print dialog.
