You need to have 1/8 in borders all around on the 2200.  So if the paper
is 11x17 you should format a max of 10.75 x 16.75.

Although I can understand a reluctance to upgrading, it not too difficult to
go back and forth -- run Uninstall between or use a different install folder.

When you say "slightly over the edge", which edge is this?  The one closest
to the resting head position (i.e. on the right as paper comes out)  or the
edge on the far side?   There are a lot of pieces to the measurement, see
how they add up -- you have 1/8in hardware margin, the QTRgui margin, and
Qimage margin, all times 2 for left & right + the image size.
