Thanks Meino, the problem is not with a particular application. Even when I print a test page from CUPS http interface/Maintenance, the top of the page is cropped and the bottom of the test page is consequently printed further up. I'll try reinstalling the firmware next using MSWindows in case something went sideways with the printer. It won't be the first coincidence this week. -- Regards, Mick
