Help with outlook email!!! - When I print a message it only prints the sender/subject, not the content.

Question

I've tried printing to different computers. I've tried messing with the settings. I've restarted my computer a few times. What is wrong with it??? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Answer 1

There have been glitches with Office and Outlook that don't appear unless something in a message triggers them.  You probably got a piece of e-mail yesterday or the day before that brought a glitch to the surface.

I would try two things:

1) Go to officeupdate.microsoft.com and make sure your Office installation is totally up to date.  This may take some time if you have to download something huge like a service pack.  But there's a possibility that you have a glitch that's already been fixed in an Office update patch, and if you update your installation you may resolve the Outlook printing issue without having to do anything else.

2) Go to support.microsoft.com and search for support for your version of Outlook.  Try doing a keyword-based search for something like "message content doesn't print."  There may be a specific setting you need to adjust, instead of (or in addition to) updating your Office installation.

Answer 2

when you click "Printing", did you check the option which to print? there are two options there which to print. maybe you missed it. otherwise, check your printer setting also.

Answer 3

Well, I don't use outlook, but did you try copying and pasting the message into notepad/word and printing it?
