Powerpoint - printing notes page image and words go off page

Did you check the Notes Master and verify that the placeholders there are in the correct positions (ie, not off the slide)?

And if everything there is correct, try reapplying the notes master to one or two notes pages in your presentation.

Thank you for your feedback - I have tried everything but this is still what I get, it makes no difference whether I am printing to a printer or to PDF. As you can see the words and half the slide is off the page.

Hi Raemorph,

Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I can imagine how crucial this must be for you, and I truly understand the challenges you're facing. Allow me to suggest a few potential solutions:

First, let's check the page setup settings in PowerPoint.

1. Go to the "Design" tab,
2. click on "Slide Size" and then "Custom Slide Size".
3. Make sure that the page size is set to the correct size for your printer.

Next, let's check the print settings.

1. When you go to print,
2. click on "Printer Properties" and make sure that the paper size is set correctly. Also, check the scaling options to make sure that the notes pages are not being scaled down too much.

If that doesn't work, try adjusting the margins in the print settings. You can do this by clicking on "Page Setup" and adjusting the margins to make sure that everything fits on the page.

Based on the information you have provided, we suggest attempting the following steps in the resource below and informing us if the problem has been resolved.

Hello,

Thank you for your prompt response and for sharing your findings with us. Let us attempt to further isolate the problem and troubleshoot the printer to identify any potential problems.

Meanwhile, you may adhere to these instructions:

Unplug and restart your printer:

Sometimes power cycling your printer can resolve the issue. Turn off your printer and unplug it, wait 30 seconds, plug your printer back in, and then turn the printer back on.

Uninstall and reinstall your printer:

Remove your printer

1. Select the Start  button, then select Settings  > Bluetooth & Devices  > Printers & scanners .
2. Select the printer you want to uninstall.
3. Select the Remove button. Then confirm you're sure you want to remove this device by selecting Yes.

Reinstall your printer

If your printer is turned on and connected to the network, Windows should find it easily. Available printers can include all printers on a network, such as Bluetooth and wireless printers, or printers that are plugged into another computer and shared on the network. You might need permission to install some printers. To reinstall your printer, follow these steps:

1. Select the Start  button, then select Settings  > Bluetooth & Devices  > Printers & scanners .
2. Make sure your printer is turned on and connected.  Then select the Add device (or Refresh) button.
3. Please wait a moment while Windows searches for the printers that are connected to the device (locally or wirelessly).  Windows will then display a list of printers connected to your device.  If you see your printer listed, select the Add device button for your printer.  If you don't see your device listed, select Add manually.
