My Dell AIO 968 printer doesn't print the entire page from a chosen internet article?
When I find something I want to copy on the internet, I go through the normal procedure to make a copy by selecting "print preview" under the "File" tab above. I never had this problem before. In the past, the printer would print whatever I could view on the "Print Preview" page. However, now it decided it would print everything on the page except the last 2 inches or so. I then have to hand write the remainder of the page on the copy I just ran. Very time consuming, I must say!
Do you have any idea what may be wrong with this printer? Thanks, Big Al B. (My email address is

Big Al B,
Check the printer to make sure the settings are set for the proper paper.
Start, control panel, devices and printers, Dell 968 Printer, printer preferences. Make sure the paper size is also correct.
Using the browser, some you can set, shrink to print and some also work good at 80%. Before clicking the print button, make sure the proper printer is selected, click on printer preferences and make sure the proper paper size is selected.

Rick:
I checked all of the above items you suggested and paper size is set at 8-1/2 x 11 everywhere. I ran a few print scenarios using shrinking at 80%, etc. and continue to have the same problem. Other suggestions?

Dear Dell-Nikhil D:
I followed the above instructions to the letter and attempted to print an entire page. I noticed each time I brought up an internet site, a warning window box pops up at the bottom of my monitor telling me "Protected Mode is turned off in the Internet Zone." I ignored it and proceeded to print the page and the same problem occurred as before. Any other suggestions? (should I leave the IE in the unprotected mode in the future?) Thank you...AJB

Hi Big Al B.,
Please turn on the protected mode in the IE (Internet Explorer).
I would like you to try checking the preview option before printing. The print of the page depends on the preview of the page. If the page that you are trying to print is completely visible in the print preview option, try printing the document and check.
If the page looks correct in the preview and has missing characters at the bottom when printed, please to reset the IE, restart the IE and then try to print.
Note: All the favorites will be deleted when resetting IE. Please save all your Favorites before resetting IE.
Please try the above steps and reply.
