When I print something from almost any program, a printer dialogue scrren opens and I can select print All, print Page x to y or Print Selection (if some part is high lighted). If you are printing from your word processor have you created a number of blank pages in your document and you are printing All? if youare getting blank pages, why worry too much, you are not using any ink or toner and you can resuse the paper. bob gillis
