After updating from IE 4.0, which there was no problem printing from a 95 box from a web page on, to 5.5 I can not print web pages. It is a local deskjet printer. It worked before! any ideas?
TIA

I had a similar situation after upgrading to IE 5.5 (on a Win2K Pro Machine, pre SP2). My print jobs refused to spool to the network printer (HP laserjet 8100) whenever I used the "File... Print..." option from the menu, or used the shor-cut menu byright clicking the mouse.

Oddly, the printer icon did work when I used that option (though this was long enough ago that I've begun to think I was hallucinating about this).

My solution was to reinstall the printer, with my workstation acting as a standalone print server. I would try reinstalling the printer, verify you've selected a valid port.

If you've tried this with no luck, write back with more info on your current set-up.
