I am running Windows 7 on desk and laptop with shared HP 6180 via router. &nbsp;After recent clean upgrade &nbsp;to 7 from XP. I reloaded sw and drivers for printer. &nbsp;Printer will print test and diagnostic pages normally as well as web pages and notepad documents. But for some reason when I attempt to print an Office 2003 Word document from either computer it will only print one very thin faint line from near the top then kicks the page out. It looks fine in &quot;print preview&quot;. I tried setting the &quot;scale to paper size&quot; to &quot;Letter&quot; and it does print it out but only in a very small format on the top left of the page. Barely readable and not practical to use.<br />
<br />
The printer defaults are set to <br />
Paper Source: Automatically Select<br />
Paper Size: Letter<br />
Paper Type: Automatic<br />
Print Quality: Normal<br />
Both sides: Off<br />
Orientation: Portrait<br />

HP 6180 Network Printer Doesn't Print MS Word 2003 documents

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
