Default Word Printing Problem

Hi,

This is my first time on this forum, I hope someone can help me out.

I'm trying to print business cards using word 2010, but they are coming out too small.

I had designed a business card seperately, and imported it in as an image.

So that I could have loads, and put dotted lines to cut along between each, I did a 5x2 table. Each cell has been set to 8.6x5.4 cm. The image has been resized to 8.57x5.4cm and one placed in each cell. (Highlight image, click picture tools - height and width are shown). The ruler along the top shows a total table width of 17.2 cm (2x8.6cm).

Then I print to an HP officejet 6500 E709n series printer. It is set to 1 page per sheet, no scaling.

It prints beautifully. Except, the width of each table cell is only 8.2cm and the height 5.1cm. Just too small.

That was quite annoying. However, I don't even know where to start looking for the problem. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rob
