Printing a range in a 79 page word doc.

One of my user has a 80 page document and would like to print a range. However when he does nothing comes out.
1) Have tried copying data into new document
2) Different user(s) with differentpermissions
3) Local, shared and network (direct) printers
4) 3 different PCs
5) Breaking down the document into smal;ler docs gives the following results
