Not sure how to categorize this problem

I have had my resume redone by a professional resume service. Now they told me that for me to successfully print this resume to one sheet I have to do that to a LJ printer. Thinking this is obsude and as long as your DJ is pretty recent that it should be able to handle this document as well as any LJ; but I was wrong.
Before going if I remember correctly when you are doing a "print preview" you are view the document as what it would look like on paper through the printer driver.
Now I did just that on my PC at which I have a HP DJ 990CXI (only a little over a year old). Simple one page, bordered resume. Well it did come out to 2 pages by 2 lines. After playing with it I figured how to condense it to one page by for me to do that I had to alter the document.
Now I took this resume/file ( the original) which is the same one on altered and viewed it on my PC at work which we use nothing but LJ and would you believe it views perfectly and prints perfectly onto once page.

Now here is where I'm stumped. If you have a HP DJ, and it's fairly new, and the technology is fairly recent, and it can handle quite a bit, why would viewing/printing it to a DJ be different than printing to a LJ.
I tried different OS's and versions of Office. The only thing that remains constant is that it views as 2 pages on a machine printing to a DJ and one page to a machine printing to a laserjet. Someone please makes sense out of this.

It does not make sence a shhet of 8 1/2x11 paper is a sheet of 8 1/2 x11. If you set the page up properly it will print properly with both types of printer. Obviously a laser jet is better than a desk jet and also faster but this has nothing to do with page set up.

Could it be that an LJ will print closer to the edge of the paper than a DJ so the extra 2 lines will just fit in the larger print area of the page?

Hae you tried the Periphials forums? Some one there may be able to shed more lighton this.

Most Lasers can use more of the paper but if you set it up to print on one page that's how it should print. I haven't run into this myself but I would guess that has something to do with the formatting of the document.

From what software prog. are you printing?

I tried, Word97, 2000, and XP and they all prove this to be true. If you do this to a DJ it will go onto 2 pages, you do this to a LJ it's one page. I leave the settings as is and confirm that they are set the same.

Just doesn't make sense. If I can cover up the personal information without really changing the format of the doc I will try to post an attachment to this thread.
