Default Format shifted in print preview

My Excel problem is a bit complicated to discribe. The Excel documents that
were printing fine before, look strange in print preview now (text spacing's
off, print area's off, cell height & width are off...etc), plus the format's
off on paper too. I did recently install a new HP deskjet printing, but I
seem to be the only one in the office with this problem. I can't figure out
what could be throwing the formats off because I didn't make any changes to
these files -- I just simply opened them and printed them as is. Just by
looking at this, could anyone tell if this is a printer problem or something
to do with my Excel? Thanks!

the print preview is based on the print driver on your computer for the
printer selected I would look at selecting different default printers or
reinstalling the print driver for your printers.

I did reinstall the driver, still didn't fix the problem (even made sure it's
the latest version). Printing at someone else's printer (same model) also
yields same result. I think it's only effecting the MS documents (Word,
Excel)...thanks for your help anyway.
