View Full Version : Print progress screen

In the last couple of days when I double click on the
printer icon in the system tray and bring up the printer
queue screen, the printing jobs show very oddly. The
progress displays as [for example] "10 of 3 pages",
then "25 of 3 Pages" ,etc. until all three pages have
printed. The total page count (3 in the example) is fine,
it's the number of pages printed that is wrong, and
increases exponentially until the job finishes. The
printer is working fine, and it only prints the actual
number of pages in a document. Is there any any way to get
the display showing the correct numbers {1 of 3, 2 of 3,
and 3 of 3} again?

Does this happen with all programs that you print from or only one specific
program?

Since it prints correctly, I'd probably not worry about it but if you want
to troubleshoot it, some things that you might try are:

If only one program is affected, uninstall and reinstall that program.

Remove and then reinstall the printer making sure that you check the printer
manufacturer's site to see that you have the most recent driver.

If this happens with Internet Explorer, go to Control Panel, Add/remove
programs and if it's on the list, click to change or remove it. Then choose
the repair option.

Happens with all programs, and I might just leave it. it
came up on its' own, and maybe it will correct on its' own.
Cheers
