Windows2000 w/ IE 5.5 printing problem

Here's an MSDN article that describes the same symptoms:

The nut is to make sure CSS is enabled.

Microsoft acknowledges this as a known issue with Internet Explorer AND Outlook Express. Unfortunately they only offer a workaround which goes as follows:

To work around this behavior, disable the Auto-Select option for encoding. To do
so, on the View menu, point to Encoding, and then click to clear Auto-Select.

It may also have something to do with Style Sheets. If there is an entry in the Registry that says "Use StyleSheets", you may need to turn this off or set it to "NO".

Good Luck!

This issue can occur if the style sheets feature is disabled. If a registry entry called "Use StyleSheets" exists, and is set to "No", then the style sheets feature is disabled.

To enable the use of style sheets either remove the entry named "Use StyleSheets" or change the value from "No" to "Yes" by using the following steps:

Click Start , and then click Run.

Type regedit and click OK.

Locate and click the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Internet/Explorer/Main

If the Use StyleSheets is displayed in the right pane of Registry Editor perform one of the following steps:

To remove this key, right-click Use StyleSheets and click Delete.

-or-

Change the value from "No" to "Yes". To do this double-click Use StyleSheets, change "No" to "Yes", and then click OK.

Close Registry Editor

NOTE: If the entry does not exist, you are able to use style sheets.
