Got a problem that seems to be fairly endemic with IE8 (searching on Google) but I can’t find a solution anywhere. I have a document that is moderately long and should print to 3 or 4 pages, but sometimes IE8 only prints the first page (it also lists it as page 1/1, in these cases). If I pause the printer (so I can wee what’s happening in the queue without wasting loads of paper), then hit p several times (without refreshing the page, or doing anything else in between), sometimes it submits all the pages to print, sometimes only 1. If I use the print preview function to print, it always seems to print all the pages ok. I have seen one possible solution to this which is, unfortunately, useless to me – to force IE into IE7 compatibility mode – I am, in fact, doing the reverse for these pages and forcing it into IE8 mode (it’s an internal company site, so this isn’t an issue).
I’ve also updated my printer driver, plus this issue exhibits itself over XP, vista (and I think 7 has also done this) all with IE8.
Has anyone found any solutions to this?
Cheers

Looks like a bug with no usable workaround, closing Q
