It seems unusual that a plot done using the "Window" and "To Fit" options would get cut off at all.
Are you plotting from model space or a paper space layout?
Can you post the drawing?

It cuts it off in both model and paperspace layout.

Is this a 2D or 3D drawing?
Can you post the drawing?

Then post a screen shot of your Plot dialog window so we can see ALL your settings.
Another option instead of posting the entire drawing would be to erase most objects, any identifying text, and put a rectangle around the area you were trying to print using the Window option and put a couple of diagonal lines through it.

otil: You do realize you're using someone else's thread to post your own question don't you?
What have you done to troubleshoot the problem so far?
