Printer Trouble (3)

I hope this has a simple answer and I'm just being stupid, but I honestly don't know how to fix it.
Lately my printer has been moving up everything it's supposed to be printing on the paper, so that part of whatever I'm printing is cut off, and there is a huge gap at the bottom of the page.
I know it's not the programs I'm using because it does it with every single one, and I've toyed with the formatting settings as much as I've been able to and nothing has changed with the printing style.
Has anyone ever had this problem before? It's never happened with any printer I've owned, so I have no idea what's happened.

Thank youuuuu!

If you can, try it on a different computer of yours or at someone elses on their pc or on a mate's laptop or something similar.

If the problem still persists, it's hardware...or at least something to do with the printer unit itself.

Some printers let you print a test page directly from the printer controls, see what happens.

Make sure there are no blockages, and that the paper ready in the tray is exactly placed as it should be yadda yadda...

Also, have you changed your paper type / make recently?

Some waxy paper types / glossy / whatever aren't handled very well by some or old paper feeders on some printers. Just go through all the options you can and if it's still crappy even on another computer...try a new printer.

Put a bunch of whitespace at the top of each page.
