Hi,

From Inside Outlook Express:

"OE uses the Internet Explorer print engine, so you have to configure
IE for printing before you print in OE. To do that, open Internet
Explorer and click File | Page Setup.

The print font size is also affected by Internet Explorer. If the font
is too large or too small, change the text size in Internet Explorer by
clicking View | Text Size and then try printing again."

Also, click on the Printer button in the above window and check that it
points top your printer.

I checked all setups in IE and everything is as it should be . I am able to
print out from the IE anything on the screen.I still can not get the grayed
out icon in OE to change so that I can print the Emails .I appreciate your
help so far but still have the same problem with OE. Any other suggestions
would be appreciated . Thanks

OK, just one thing I need to check - do you have the Preview pane
showing? The Print commands/shortcuts will be greyed out if the Preview
pane (the lower pane) isn't showing.

Not true...

True

Go to View => Layout and uncheck 'Show preview pane'
Now go to the File menu. Print is greyed out.

Preview window is showing and still have PRINT grayed out.

Ctrl/P is the key combination for printing. Is there an error message
when you press that with an email highlighted?

 

[Guest]

No Message is shown , the Print word at top is grayed out, so printing
doesn't occur

After reviewing the View item and correcting the check mark , all is good .
