    If you only want to print part of the page you must "highlight" with your cursor. Then chose file ,print, print SELECTED (the part you highlighted).

    Preferences are set BEFORE you print such as landscape or portrait,page size etc.

    I know about that - I can't get to the  part that allows me to choose my landscape - etc....  I hit file then print then when the part that used to come up that asked me to make choices as to landscape, quick print, etc.   it just goes off the screen like I never asked it to print!!!

    I would suggest reinstalling your printer software.  If the software has a "repair" option do that first and if that doesn't work then reinstall the software.
