Help, HP printer margin issues!!!

Hello,

I had a good quality printer that doesn't work anymore. I've been lent an HP Deskjet 640C. With my non-working Epson printer, I could print my documents "as displayed on the screen."

With the HP printer, I can't print beyond the print areas. If my document looks perfect in the "print preview," it gets cut off at the bottom when I print. For example, when I do a "print preview," I can see all my text, but then when I print, the last sentence at the bottom or a sentence at the top is missing. I spent 2 hours printing a CV today!!! I have to resize each of my CVs that are defined outside of the print areas. When I print them with an Epson, everything is fine, but when I print with my HP printer, I have to resize each CV.

I don't understand why my CVs look fine on the screen yet get cut off at the bottom when printed (a sentence is missing).
It’s frustrating because every time, I feel there is a huge gap between the screen "print preview" and the printed document; the result is never "as displayed on the screen." When I go to / file / page setup and change the dimensions, my printer asks me to "correct," and the layout is messed up (small margin at the top, large margin at the bottom). I’ve tried setting all margins to 0 or moving the cursor, but my CV is made up of blocks, so that doesn't work at all; I have to redo the entire layout every time.

I right-clicked on "printer" and checked in the "properties" how to reduce or remove the margins so I wouldn’t end up with a small margin at the top and a large margin at the bottom, but I found nothing.
Do you have a solution for the HP printer to print "as displayed on the screen"?
How can I solve this margin and layout problem with HP printers? (if possible)

Thank you in advance for your help
