Make sure you are using the correct printer cable or cable
adapter, and that the cable is secure at both ends.

Check for printer errors.
If the Left Edge of Printed Output Is Missing
Certain applications may not work properly with 600-dpi printers.

driver for a 300-dpi printer.

Make sure the line of sight between the 2 infrared ports is not
blocked, and that the ports face each other as squarely as
possible. (The notebook infrared port is located on the front
of the notebook.) The ports should be no more than one meter
apart.
