Printing won't start at top of paper, starts at mid point with header in correct place at top.

I am using Firefox 3.6.17 (tried Firefox 4 and went back to 3 several weeks ago) on a Vista laptop computer. Yesterday printing changed from normal to: the headers appear correctly on the page, but the primary part of the page or email message starts at the vertical middle of the page, continuing as half pages until printing finishes. Not only does this waste paper but the appearance is poor. My printer is a Canon Pixima IP90 but the same problem is evident if I print to PDF via Adobe Acrobat 8 standard or PDF Converter Professional. The printing function is fine with other applications (such as Word Perfect).
