Vista - HP Inkjet 2230 prints 1 page on 3

I am running an HP Business Inkjet in Vista Ultimate 64 using a vitual USB
port (an adapter from paralle input (printer) to USB (computer). When I print
anything including a test page the output is about six inches 1st page, one
inch 2nd page, and then the balance of the signal page printed.

My system is dual boot and I have not had any problems when I boot in XP.
The driver is labled HP Business Inkjet 2230/2280 HPA and I have tried
reinstaling it several times.
The port is "Virtual printer port for USB" and it errors when I try to
access configure Port...

Any suggestions would be appreciatied. Thanks

Do you have the page size correctly set?

Thanks for your responce. I had my paper size correct. I was able to solve
the problem by turning off the bi-directional feature.
