: Adobe InDesign 6 not printing booklets to edges of paper, InDesign 5.5 did I printed booklets for my students in InDesign 5.5. Worked perfect, on US Letter paper I was able to get 2 worksheets
I printed booklets for my students in InDesign 5.5. Worked perfect, on US Letter paper I was able to get 2 worksheets per side. I'd cut them down the middle and have these great packets of worksheets. I upgraded to InDesign 6 (on both my mac and PC). And now the printouts don't extend all the way to the right of the paper. So when I cut the paper, it's a little off and everything's shifted to the left.
There was an update to InDesign 6 the other day, I installed that... no help :(. Does InDesign 6 no longer print booklets properly? What can I do aside from downgrading?

End-use printers are not precise machines when it comes to pulling paper through them and aligning it. You could print something 100 times and no 2 copies would "line up" exactly. The nature of the machines is such that they can't control precise paper feed alignment without jamming and being unreliable that way. So, most end-use printers have around 1/16" to 1/4" shift when printing.
There's not really a great deal you can do to correct this. You could compensate for the slight shift when printing by not designing anything to the edge of a page or which would make any shift more apparent. Large margins are generally very helpful for this sort of thing.
The InDesign versions should not be a factor. If they indeed are, then you need to ensure you've got settings, print drivers, etc all the same between the two versions of InDesign.
