On one of my computers the printer will not print what is on a web page. It will print a test page. I reinstalled the printer and that did not work. What can I do? The computer is a Dell 530 with Vista, the printer is an HP 4680 I belive. The only thing it will print is the "page 1 of 1" on top and the web address on the bottom.

In IE, click File > Print Preview...

Does the page appear complete there, or is it blank (with just the header and footer)?

Does it happen with all webpages, or just a few?

If just a few, can you post the URL to one of them?

Also, which version of IE are you using?
