    Printer properly aligned but everything printed from PC is 2mm to the left

    I'm not sure but it seems like since I connected my HP CLJ CM3530 by network rather than USB, everything printed from the PC prints 2mm to the left.

    It is not the printer's calibration because the set registration sheets show it's calibrated properly, it's only prints from the PC that are 2mm to the left.

    What would cause this and how do I fix it? It's a major problem as I often print label sheets and now I can't until this is fixed.

    Thanks

              Refresh my memory. If you're 2mm left does that make you a liberal or conservative?

                  I agree, your margins set in the printer probably do not match the margins in the program.

                      I somehow don't think that's what Paul was implying.

                          Have you tried moving your pc monitor to the right 2mm, once the printer shifts your print 2mm left it will be in the correct position
