e-mail not printing properly

[Jackie W.]

We use peoplepc as our I/N provider, we have a HP dj 5150
printer. We also have outlook express. I have called HP
& people pc. I am told the problem is with the settings
w/in the outlook express although I haven't changed them.
Everything prints fine, including e-mail attachments, but
the actual e-mails print starting 1/2 way down the page
and then they print in space of 1" going down the middle
of the page (as if with 4" margins). It therefore takes
at least 2 pages to print a 1 paragraph e-mail. Anyone
know how to fix it and if it is indeed a problem related
to the settings in outlook express?

HI...I've been tearing my hair out w/similar margin
problems. Perusing old postings, some genius discovered
you have to fix "Page setup" in IE NOT in OE!
good luck...it worked for me!

No idea specifically, but I have seen printers' memory get
messed up and do weird things. Power down (unplug) for
awhile a see if it resolves itself.
Also check the printer properties even though you didn't
change them -- maybe something else did.
Weird that some things print ok. Could there be any weird
characters in the e-mail? Paste it into a word doc and
try printing from there.
