I haven't done computer-generated titles or journaling in a while and this layout reminded me why. My printer prints at a 1/8" diagonal whenever I print on cardstock (but prints just fine on photo paper and regular printer paper). After wasting three pieces of my precious white Bazzill orange peel textured cardstock trying to get the printing straight, I said "Forget it!" and glued everything down anyway. Then I posted on 2peas to see whether anyone else had battled an HP printer over this and found some poor souls who were right there with me. No one had a solution to the problem (that I hadn't already tried), so I went to the HP website and used their online chat service center. "Sheryl" (or whatever his or her real name is) was quite polite, but her solutions didn't help. I've now been emailed a more complicated set of directions to try another fix. I'll let you know how that goes.

Have you considered trimming the CS to a rectangle around the printing?
Even without correction, it looks great.
that's adorable! Go Eli - 15 feet is great! (we're still having trouble with training wheels)
I think it looks great too! But I know how you feel. ;-) Will we get to see you in the morning??? :-)
I think the page turned out great! Sorry about the troubles.
I do what mary kay says - mine prints at a slight angle too so I crop the edge to make the image sit squarely. I love that bicycle paper. so perfect for boys this age.
I put this happy LO in a frame and on a shelf today, but not before starring at length to see how it printed wrong because it looks so fantastic.
Bummer about your printer problem (sorry!)...no advice other than to switch to Canon, LOL! Love the layout and that paper, though!! Now, if you could just convince one of my boys to ride a bike so I can use some of that paper also... ;)
it looks perfectly straight on that shelf christyn put it on. if all else fails, just cock your head the other day, no worries see! i have to agree w/amanda, canon printers rock!
