Sounds to me like a memory issue with the printer - it
doesn't store enough data to print the whole page.  I get
this in the office with an old HP1600 color printer.   Go
into your printer settings, properties, then scheduling.
There are settings for spooling your output.  One option is
'spooling documents so program finishes faster', this frees
up your pc to allow you to resume work, but requires more
printer memory.  'Start printing immediately' should be
checked, this should reduce the memory as it starts printing
before all the data is saved.  'Print directly to printer'
should require the least memory.  I don't know if this
printer allows for additional memory to be added.
