I have upgraded from InDesign CS4 to InDesign CS5.

Question

We have odd sized paper (9x17 inch) we print our newsletter on. What used to print just fine, now prints too far down and to the left. I thought it might be the printer setup but it also printed incorrectly on our Risograph (duplicater) Changing margins didn't help. Any suggestions. Am I in the right place to ask this question? Thanks.

Probably you're opening CS4 documents in CS5? If so, the converted documents have no path for the save() method. The script can be reconfigured to supply one like so:
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;
var myBook = app.open("C:\\forms\\0210.files\\zprint.indb", false),
    i, docPath, doc, j;
for (i = 0;i<myBook.bookContents.length;i++){
    docPath = myBook.bookContents[i].fullName;
    doc = app.open(File(docPath),false);
    for (j = 0; j < doc.links.length; j++) {
        doc.links.item(j).relink(File(doc.links.item(j).filePath));
    doc.save(docPath);
    doc.close();
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.INTERACT_WITH_ALL;
You should be warned that this will overwrite your CS4 documents with CS5 documents.
Or, if you want to keep your script more or less as it is, you could remove or comment out this line:
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;
at the top and pick a save location for each file as it comes through in the UI.
