Default HP C7180 prints only part of page


I have an HP 7180 all in one, which I bought last year after getting my
new Vista (Home Premium) PC as my previous printer had no Vista drivers
available.
I find that often the printer will print only part of the page - to
about half-way down. Sometimes rebooting the PC will resolve this, but
other times that has no effect. Today even a cold boot of both PC and
printer failed to produce a complete print. I copied the document to an
XP laptop from where it printed correctly, so this does seem to be a
Vista problem.
I have updated Vista to SP1 and have checked the HP site for updated
printer drivers (there are none - the only ones are dated March 2007).
Can anyone offer any suggestions to enable me to print complete pages
every time?

Thanks - but the article you linked to relates to XP and a printer
connected directly to a PC. I have Vista and the printer is networked
(wireless), not connected to a PC. It works fine from an XP PC (also on
the network) and sometimes from the Vista one.

It's exactly the same procedure.
