Actually, operator error. I've been printing some 5.5 x 8.5 pages to go
in a small 3-ring binder. Somehow I managed to set the default paper
size in the printer to 5 x 8. Doing a pure copy in the printer produced
the same problem, but reading the fine print in the LCD display showed
me that it was trying to use 5 x 8 paper. Resetting the default to
Letter size solved the problem
Thanks to everyone who suffered through this with me. I'll endeavor to
pay more attention the next time something like this comes up.
