Powerpoint and word documents do not print properly

[michael.viernes]

I am trying to print a large powerpoint/word file (20-30 MB) but when the job
is sent to the Printer (Dell 5110cn) it prints out the first couple pages
and repeats those pages 3-4 times. The rest of the document is not printed
and i get 3-4 copies of just the first couple of pages. I contacted Dell is
the issue was with the printers but pointed me in the direction that there
was an issue with the document.

Did Dell take the time to confirm that you have the most current version of
the driver for that printer? That or a corrupt driver is usually the source
of print-related issues. Programs simply hand the data off & it's unlikely
that PPt is sending the same few pages repeatedly.

Make sure you have the latest updates for your OS as well as your version of
Office. Speaking of which, you've neglected to mention them here. Without
that information there really isn't much more to be suggested. The source of
your post also suggests that you're using a Windows version of the program.
If so you'll do better to post to the Windows Office group that deals with
PPt there - this is the group for PPt on the Mac:
