Partial Printout of Technical Articles in MSDN

ID: Q108708

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Development Network (MSDN) Disc #4

SYMPTOMS

If you print technical articles, such as the Microsoft Journal articles, from MSDN disc #4, only the first 5-10 pages may print. You will not receive any error messages or other indications.

The number of pages printed varies from printer driver to printer driver.

WORKAROUND

1. Open Control Panel and choose the Printer icon.

2. Select Connection and set the default printer to File. When

   you print an article in MSDN you will be prompted for a filename.

4. After you've printed from MSDN, run MS-DOS Command Prompt and copy

   the file to the printer port. For example, type the following to copy
   myfile.prn to the printer port lpt1

      copy <myfile.prn> <lpt1>:

   where <myfile.prn> is the file listed in the dialog box that appeared
   during your printout and <lpt1>: is the port connected to your printer.
