At the URL below, the page loads properly, but print preview fails to show teh entire document and printing only places text on the first (of three) page. Using IE 5.5. Any ideas on what I can do to print all three pages?

IE print & preview problem
- Thread starter dspp

It appears to be text only without special formatting, so why not copy the text into Word or Notepad and print from there?
The web graphics on the page are causing your problems. Also, be sure you only highlight the text and not the graphics when you go to copy it over...

dspp,
Mine displayed correctly, I'm using IE6.

Has your printer ever stared back at you with a blank look on its face when you printed from your browser? Me too. The reason is rooted in how the Web page is interpreted by Internet Explorer 5.5 or Outlook Express 5.5 (as well as pretty much everything in
Windows ME). The solution is a simple one -- simply requiring that you disable the encoding Auto-Select feature. Click View |Encoding | Auto-Select. This should clear the checkmark next to it and allow you to print cleanly. Oh, wait. Now I only get text at the top of the page! This is an easy fix, too. If "Style Sheets" was somehow disabled in the Registry, your browser will not properly print the page. You'll need to tiptoe around in the
Registry to repair it. Click Start | Run and type: RegEdit Up will pop the Registry Editor, ready for perusal.
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet\Explorer\Main.
Look for a value called "Use StyleSheets". Odds
are, at this point, it's set to "No." Delete that value, exit the editor, and try printing the page again.

Thanks for the replies. I printed the material by doing a "view source" then pasting into a text editor. However I just was wondering why IE doesn't display that page (and others I have encountered) correctly. In the case of the OLGA site, I am guessing that the problem is the coding. Surprisingly, OLGA poorly codes its pages. I surmise that the nesting of tables goes awry and IE just drops after one page. Opera and NN will print the pages, albeit with faults due to the coding. Thanks again for the replies.
