Earlier today, & this week, I had no trouble printing a 2 page legal sized document. All of a sudden, it will only print page 2 on letter. None of the print settings have been changed. The printer and my computer have been rebooted. Any Ideas? Is it and Indesign or printer issue? I have no idea.

The print settings are all correct. It is set for two sided, short edge, legal.

The last time I tried it, it printed a letter sized page with "PS error: unmatchedmark" on it. Any ideas on what this means? It was fine at 10 am this morning.

I'd start by restoring your InDesign preferences:

Trash, Replace, Reset, or Restore the application Preferences

If it's only that one document, the document could be corrupted. Try saving as IDML and reopening:

Clean corrupt files by exporting to .IDML or .INX

Note the widget in Barb's screen shot. She has a Letter size document on Legal size paper, printing in the upper left. What does yours display?

And what do you have for the Printer Preset? She has custom, because she set it to Legal paper to help you. Change the Printer Preset to Default, then choose the settings you require, then create a named preset once it is working again.

And try a fresh document to see if that works.

The print settings are correct. I printed it Monday-No problem. Tuesday Morning-No Problem. Tuesday afternoon after editing some text: only page two. Tuesday Afternoon after rebooting computer & printer:  "PS error unmatchedmark" is all I get on a letter sized page.  How does a document get corrupt editing text?  The document is one that I update weekly. I just update pertinent information, change the date, rearrange graphics, add some new ones, and save it with a new title. The graphics are mostly from Adobe Stock, however, the res are ones that I have used before and were added from the pasteboard. No errors in preflight. 

I just opened and printed it from a co-worker's computer & it worked...???!

Documents which are regularly edited over a long period of time are often the most susceptible to corruption.
