Problem printing IE7 pages

[Guest]

When I printed off a page last week, it printed off normally. This week when
I pressed print, there was a fax installed as my default printer - I had not
installed (to my knowledge) a fax!

When I defaulted back to my Lexmark printer, instead of the internet page
printing all I can get to print seems to be something from my temp files.
When I look at the text carefully it seems to be the web page code - if that
is the right terminology?!

I can print from other programs such as word but not the internet, can
anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Run Disk Cleanup, Reboot PC and try again.

I have tried that and it still doesnt work. In the footer of the printed
page, it reads:-
file://C:\DOCUMEN~1/Nikki\LOCALS~1\Temp\FBG6RUC.htm

This is usually the web-address page I have tried to print. Also where did
the fax come from? Was it included in the latest Microsoft update? If not I
am concerned as I have not installed one!

Any more ideas, please?

You can uninstall the fax printer by using Add/Remove Programs, then
Add/Remove Windows Components in the Control Panel.

Thanks Cari, thats what I have done and I reinstalled the Lexmark printer
which is now working correctly again.

Hi everyone I am a 'Newbie' - a Silver Surfer from UK. As you seem to have
good answers I hope you can help me.
I cannot print web pages in IE7. I have tried all previous solutions in
earlier replies to similar problems, with only partial success. The 'partial'
bit came after I had run disk cleanup and rebooted, then checked in my
Printer Preferences for Offline/Online printing. My Hp cp1700 printed 2 pages
of a 4 page document (text & colour graphics - Estate Agent details of a
house) then informed me that "This document failed to print." I cannot print
a single web page from that moment. This is driving me bonkers - hope you can
assist.

There's an update at the HP website for specific issues with IE7.
