I'm running Windows 3.11/ Microsoft Explorer 4.01/ HP DesjJet 520. (also tried 3 other printers (dot matrix) with same results. Printing from dos or Windows program everything OK but printing from Internet Explorer the first page will ONLY print the header BUT not the body of the message/screen. It DOES print the 2nd 3rd etc pages OK. I've tried everything I can think of. It's driving me up a tree. Do I have a defective load/glitch in the Explorer load? I tried the header/footer codes but I think I understand about 10% of what I see!!!!!PLEASE HELP...PLEASE..

The best way to start eliminating this problem is to get rid of IE and replace it with Netscape 3.04. That is the most advanced version that will work with Wim 3.xx. Go to the archive section of their site to download it. Besure to the 16 bit version. If you have Win32S installed for the 32 bit extentions, the 32 bit version may work but i can't say for sure.
