Print to PDF and then print the PDF.  Do you get the same results?

In the "Print Drawing" dialog box in Inventor select "Best Fit" instead of "Model 1:1".

Your sheet size in Inventor differs from your paper size in the printer so you must tell it to scale properly.

I have tried best fit, custom, etc. Everything prints the same. If i print to .PDF its the same. Also i can not preview.

What happens when you try to preview?

Have you verified the printer works from other applications properly?

Have you tried creating a drawing with the sheet size the same as your printers default/paper size?

Have you looked at your printers settings to see if it may be adjusting the print?

What version of Inventor are you using?

Does the help button in the bottom right of the print dialog show?

@mcgyvr  has some excellent points.

My thoughts are do you have the latest drivers installed.  I know you said you just loaded this onto your PC, but have to check.

Can you provide some screen shots of what you are seeing that doesn't work?

I looked up some of the specs, and another thought is when I look at the paper sizes, are you crossing the metric with the english?
