Outlook Express 6 Does not print message header when printing

**Sangeetha** · 23-Feb-2007, 10:58 PM

Question
I have just reinstalled a windows xp system. However when the user tries to print emails from outlook express, certain emails will print fine with the messge header(To:xxx@xxx.com, From:xxx@xxx.com, etc), while other emails will not print the header. All messages will print the message content. I am not sure if it is a bug or I need to set certain settings in windows/outlook express to enable printing of message header. Does anyone have any suggestions?

By any chance did you also install IE7?
IE7 has caused similar issues in Outlook and currently uninstalling IE7 is one of the 'Fixes'. I would be interested to find out if it is also causing this issue in OE. Looks like it might.
IE7, OE6 Printing problems with headers - MSDN Forums
A lot of people are blaming the IE7 Shrink To Fit setting (which, by the way, you cannot change that Default setting)

Are these longer emails that are not printing the Headers? You may have to change the Page Setup in IE. When printing an email go to page setup and set the top and bottom margins to zero accept the changes and then print the email, the header should appear correctly.
