The printer cannot print full
pages of a document. An error
message Print Overrun
appears.
The headers or footers appear
when the document displays on
the screen but they do not show

Recommendation
Make sure that the printer cable is not too long. We recommend that you use a
USB cable that is no longer than 2 meters (6.5 feet).
Make sure that the printer cable is not damaged or broken.
If you are using an interface-switching device, remove it. Connect your computer
directly to your printer, and then try again.
Make sure that you have chosen the correct printer driver with 'Set as Default
Printer'.
Make sure that the printer is not connected to the same port that is also
connected to a storage device or scanner. Take away all other devices and
connect the port only to the printer.
