Print problem with pagination using auto page numbering Page X of Y. Was working fine for six months. All of a sudden about a month ago, every document I print from MS Word is printing Page 1 of 1, 2 of 2, 3 of 3 etc. instead of Page 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3. This includes saved files that were originally printing correctly. This problem happens when using the printer icon or File-Print function on any printer. The page numbering appears correctly on the screen. I discovered a workaround today, using the printer icon from the Print Preview screen results in correct page numbering being printed. Please Help.

Thanks in Advanced.

Known issue for a long time.
There are a few workarounds:
Turn of background printing,
Go to Print Preview a couple of times
Print the document in reverse order.
I haven't heard about it reacting to different printers in this way, but try the work arounds.
PS Do you have SR-1 installed?
