Using Outlook Express on XP and a Samsung Laser printer: Lately when I go to print an email, all that prints is the heading, not the body of the email.
Is there a setting somewhere? Or reinstall the printer?

A couple possible solutions I found.

1. Re-install the printer driver.
2. In OE try changing the type of encoding.
Go to View....go to encoding....go to more....and change it to user defined.
You will probably find it on Western European (ISO)
3. Disable the auto select function in IE. Use Western European or UTF.

Tried all these suggestions. I guess its a problem deep within the operating system. I can always copy and paste in to Wordpad. Thanks anyways.

Change the encoding to user defined in both OE and IE.
If that does not work see this

I had tried most of these remedies, and then I did something that fixed it. I made IE the default browser (it had been Firefox) and emails printed OK. I then schanged back to Firefox and they continued to print OK. I guess some switch had got turned off. I've used FF for years without printing problems.
Thanks all.
