Default Large Document - Printing

If other documents will print, then it sounds like you have a document
corruption. Unless your printer is seriously old, the driver and buffer
should be designed to handle long documents.

Try --

1. Converting to PDF and printing that.

2. SaveAs under a new name.

3. Select the first dozen or so pages, copy to a new document, and 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?
