IE 5.5 won't print on a particular NT 4 SP6 workstation.
Other programs print ok.
IE seems like it prints (no errors) but the printer is never queued...

I tried turning on Print Background and images; repairing IE; uninstalling IE and installing; removing the printer rebooting and adding it again.

The one thing of note here is that the workstation was printing to the printer (HP LJ 5SI) via NT 3.51 Server and now is printing via NT 4 Server.

I beleive it worked on the NT 4 server for a while and then quit.

I'm guessing that a registry key is hosed but I'd rather not reinstall.

All other clients are working ok.
 
lameid,

Internet Explorer has a history of printing problems. Try these links:

Troubleshooting Printing Problems in Windows 95/98/Millennium Edition


It's a well-known fact that Microsoft doesn't acknowledge.

Go to File>Page Setup, choose A4 and reduce the margins.

Then try here:
