No text printing in IE 6.0

[LawyerRon]

For the last few weeks, when ever I print a webpage from IE 6.0, I get the graphics but no text. Is there some setting that needs to be changed?

Very odd. Do you print fine from other programs? Try changing your printer spooling to RAW.

Does the text show when you use print preview?

If you start printing before the page has finishing loading, sometimes you will encounter these problems. Sometimes when a site uses frames, you have to cut and paste the page into Word to get it to print properly. IE6 is weird on somethings. Whenever I order from NewEgg.com, I print the invoice. Every time it locks up the machine. Also I have noticed that some documents on the MS site will only partially print.

I'm not at that machine now so I can't check the print preview. It prints fine from all other apps like Word, Excel, etc. For IE printing however, I usually have to copy and paste into Word as mairving suggested. Anyway, I'll check it out Monday when I get back in town; gotta catch a plane for Madison Wisconsin.

I had a similar issue once on of our machines here at work. I reinstalled IE and the printer driver and since then it is working fine.

If you can save the page as HTM/HTML or as MHT types, you should be able to print the page.

I typically don't print pages, since I don't need a collection of paper around, but just tend to save pages in formats that work best for viewing later.
