Anyone make heads or tails out of these screen caps? http://www.frontier.net/~sommie/stumped . I thought I found the fix at http://support.microsoft.com/search/preview.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q272518 . It is doing exactly what is described there but the fix registry key they are referring to does not exist, which MS says stylesheets are allowed. I even added the "Use StyleSheets" key and set value to Yes w/ the same printing problems. Any ideas? Windows 2000 Pro. IE 5 and 6. Does the same w/ multiple printers...... Any help would be appreciated.

Might try starting a new post and actually telling us what's going on, because that link goes to a directory containing BMPs, which don't really make sense to those of us who don't magically know what's the problem....

OK, here is the problem.

When trying to print out a webpage using IE5. Multiple blank pages are being printed w/ just the title, # of pages, URL, and Date. Upgrading to IE6, same thing happens w/ only a portion of the page. When doing a print preview of one page, say www.frontier.net , Print preview shows 800+ pages. I don't believe it to be a problem w/ print driver as it happens w/ other printers. Same drivers other win2000 machines use. No problems printing from other applications including netscape. The microsoft link I posted describes the exact problem that is happening but the fix they suggest is not relevant as the registry checks out fine. Trying to print out a webpage w/ just one image like say www.coyotepass.com , I get 29 different pages w/ each page having a different part of the graphic.
