Guest Bill Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 This is an SBS 2003 SP1. The onset of this problem seems to coincide with installation of updates (not SP2, which has not yet been installed) a couple weeks ago. I find it both disconcerting and at the same time reassuring that my search for this topic turned up nothing...but here it is. Users printing some web pages to a network printer get only part of the text printed. Text in boxes or a different color, it seems, are missing--white space where there should be text. The print preview shows correctly. This is with various network printers and more than one kind of print server, although most are HPs with built in print servers, it is also happening with a Brother connected to a Netgear print server. So far as I can tell, this problem is only with web pages. If the user at the workstation (all XP Pro) goes into advanced printer settings for the printer and changes the spool setting to "Print directly to the printer", the pages will print correctly. Also, if I install the printer's TCP/IP Port on the workstation--bypassing the SBS 2003 Server--printing is OK. Of course, neither of these workarounds is a proper solution.
