IE wants to print thousands of pages???!!???

Post by Burrito »

I just finished writing a report and when I run it, it's a beautiful thing to behold on the screen. However, when I try to print it, it starts printing literally thousands of pages when in reality it should fit on 1 or 2 pages.

I HAVE to use IE for this (it's a corporate report) so FF is out of the question.

has anyone seen this behavior before? If so, how can I fix?

even if I go to print preview, it tries to show me thousands of pages.....grrr!

Turn on formatting characters and ensure there's not a ton of page breaks you're somehow missing. Especially if this was based on some standard report template...
