Printer alignment help

I recently bought a new printer. HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer. I haven't bought or really messed with a printer since 2004. I really never had any use for them, so I don't know that much.

I'm working on a trifold brochure, and have came into a problem with this printer. I've tried on our home printer, 2 printers in a neighbors office, and a friends printer using the same document. They all printed out the brochure with all parts centered correctly between the folds. However, on our office printer. It is not centering correctly at all. I also checked the margins within microsoft word and they are the same margins I used when it printed out correctly on the home printer. I have taken a picture since sometimes pictures can just explain it better.

I'm pretty positive it's a setting within the printer I need to change since it's printed out on 4 other printers centered correctly now, and just not on the office printer (HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer). If anyone could help instruct me on how to fix this issue, it would be greatly appreciated.
 
I can't help specifically, but look for s setting in the drivers for scaling and/or aspect ratio options. It looks like it is taking a print that goes to the edges, and shrinking it to fit within margins, to me.

It might also be erroneously set to a wrong paper size, but usually that results in shrinking towards a corner.

If you have calipers, you could check the width of the photo and image v. stated width in the editor, to see if it was making them slightly smaller than it should.
