Won't Print a Range
Word 2000, several HP printers through the years…
If I select a print range such as 1-54 the entire job will print. In this case it was 90 pages!
(the ranges is 1, no space, dash sign, no space, 54)
Through the years, at work, I have had Office 2000 as well as 2003 and connected to many different printers. None have ever been able to print a range.
What might I be missing?

Sorry I did not get back sooner, I was a little under the weather…
I think I figured it out. The document was from a Mail Merge but was a merged to a New Document. The print result is the same with or without using the 'S'.
However, it is a Two Sided print run. So if I tell it to print 6-8 it prints 3 Records!
Record 6 actually starts on Page 5 and Record 8 ends on Page 10 and that is what is printed!
My Document consisted of 45 Records (90 pages). Since I thought I was designating Pages to be printed, I set it for 1-54, it printed all 45 Records.
Had I set it for 1-27, it would have done what I wanted.

Are you printing mail merges? If so, you need to preface the range numbers with as S, for example
S1-S54
If not a mail merge, let me know.
