Default Large Document - Printing

Like Jezebel says, the length of the doc shouldn't make a difference -
especially if other long docs print with no problem.

Another thought, though, is if the problem doc contains Section Breaks that
involve layout changes - page orientation in particular. Make sure that the
printer driver is up-to-date, & if the doc isn't corrupt you may need to
print it one Section at a time.

You might also try selecting all but the *last* paragraph marker (Ctrl+A,
Shift+LeftArrow to select), copy, then paste into a new blank doc & see if
that will print.

I have a large document (new hire package) which contains tables,
graphics, forms etc. When I try to print even one page of the
document, my printer drops off line. I understand that my printer
buffer may not be able to handle the entire however, not even on page?

I also have a large document (benefits package) which does not have
this problem. Perhaps is there something in the new hire package
document itself which causes the printer to drop off line?
