Did you change printers when you upgraded? That might have something to do
with it. It might also have to do with the fact that most printers won't
print edge to edge, so your slide size might really be too big for the
printed area.

What happens if instead of changing the page setup values, you select "Scale
to fit" on the Print Dialog box? Does it print right then?
