Word 07 beta print problem

[isthis]

When printing in Word 2007 beta, the text gets miniaturized up into the left
corner. (on a HP PSC1315) it doesnt matter if it's an old word 03 document, a
copy'ed/paste'd text, or completely new text in a new document. When
printing, it miniaturizes it.
Unfurtunately this completely rules out using the word 07 beta in my daily
work - a darn shame because the UI seems very easy to use, which i had looked
forward to.

Anyone else have that printing problem or a solution to it?

Same problem. Haven't tried anyother printers yet but currently using HP
7110. Printing looks normal in print preview but miniaturized ( looks almost
like a thumb view) on printing.

(New tool bars will take some getting used to... but I said that too when I
moved from sidekick to work 1.0!)

I am having a similiar. However, mine only occurs when I try to print a range
or the current page. If I am printing the entire document, it is ok.

Well todays a new day and the problem cleared all by it's self. Was going to
spend some time trying to debug and figure what I could and it printed
correctly first try.

Now on Sunday, I reboot a few times and changed lots of options all with no
effect.

If the problems comes back I'll update this thread.

Historically HP drivers have been crap - they even keep quiet about the fact
that they have beta drivers available for a variety of issues. The latest
ones are at http://www.hp.com/pond/ljbeta/ No guarantee that they will fix
your problems ... yet

I'm sorry this thread appears to have stopped because I'm having exactly the
same problem on my Epson Stylus Photo R300. Did anyone come up with a
solution or do I have to stop using the beta?

Well, it IS a beta, and it would appear that support for some printers is
less good than for others. I would imagine that initial efforts might have
been more heavily focused on document printers (LaserJets, for example) than
on photo printers.

I observe the same problems when I try to print on printer Epson Stylus 1290
in a mode of high quality, however in a mode of high speed the work passes
normally. Also normally prints on printer HP LaserJet 1300.

Many users are reporting that switching from Draft to high-resolution output
causes this problem. It seems to have been established that if you change
the printer setting in the printer Properties *before* starting Word, you
will not encounter the problem.

Thanks, it works right.
