Your printer is capable of printing single-page or multi-page documents, but many users reported that the printer does not print the whole page.

Here’s how one user describes the issue on Microsoft Answers:

Using MS Edge, when a web page (Home Depot for instance) shows my order and has a print button. It will only print what fits on one page and doesn’t print the whole document. However, if I use chrome it works fine. I’m guessing this must be something in a setting somewhere?? Help?

The reason for this problem can be many including misconfigured printer properties, driver errors, hardware issues, or some other common issues.

Speaking about issues, users reported an entire list of connected problems. Check them out below.
