My document will only print in the top left hand corner. I can't print a whole page. This started went I tiled a few months ago and I've unchecked the tile box, but my doc still prints only in the top left corner.

Make sure that the following is done in your Print dialog window:

1. The paper size must match the document size. Note that in the first picture the paper size is chosen as legal but the document size (shown as the blue outline around the letter "P" in the preview area) is not filling that size. In the second picture the paper size is changed to letter (the actual size of the document) and the blue document outline is now the only one seen in the preview area. 

2. Make sure that the Page Position is the correct one needed for your document. Since your documents have been only printing the top left try choosing "Centered" as your Page Position. Also, make sure that "Tile" is left unchecked. 

Additionally, make sure that the upper left corner of your document (highlighted on the right side of the picture below) is reading as zero on the top ruler. If it is not then double click on the dotted crossed lines which are highlighted on the left side of the picture.

Export as PDF and print from Acrobat. It is easier.
