Web page printing problem

Wolfman_2

Up to 2 weeks ago my printer worked fine. Now I can't print web pages without 1 web page being spread over 20 printed pages. Even in print preview there is a small portion of the web page for each page to print.

The same happens with email attachments e.g. vouchers, Seefilmfirst tickets.

We are going to Camelot Theme Park tomorrow but I can't print the 3 for 2 voucher that's available.

I am not very good with computers and I have tried all printer options I can find. I have also visited the Canon website and tried a general internet search for an answer, all to no avail.

The printer is a Canon MP150.

Can I fix this or is a new printer required?

What browser are you using? IE6 was terrible for printing but IE7 automatically scales it to single page width.

I've been using IE7 for a long time with no previous problems.

Have you tried reinstalling the printer drivers?

Sorry, I should have put this in my original post. Yes, I uninstalled the printer and drivers and reinstalled. The printer works fine from word and scans etc it's just web pages I have the problem with.

I use Windows XP.

I can't think of anything specifically in IE7's settings that would be relevant but it might still be worth going to tool>internet option> advanced and clicking on set to default. Still, unusual symptoms though. I think it's more likely to be a software issue rather than a problem with the actual printer if other apps are ok.
