[ms office - 2010] Page range

[Edu-IT]

Has anyone ever come across the situation whereby in Word, you can choose to print page 2 to 4, of a 10 page document for example, and it just doesn't print? Or, choosing to print a single page by typing in the page number results in Word wanting to print the whole document?

Yes.. We had an issue a few years ago when using XP where printing page ranges wasn't working. I'm pretty sure that we resolved it by changing the print driver.

Saw this a few times myself - don't ever recall a true fix but converting to PDF and then printing the pages of the PDF seemed to work fine.

Perfect! I'll give that a whirl.

 

What does the S do? Is this a Word bug, or, a PaperCut issue?

Neither

 

When you use page breaks in a Word document it turns them into Sections (s) not pages, so trying to print page 4-10 won't work as page 4-10 doesn't exist. It's page 1 (section 1), page 1 (section 2), page 1 (section 3) etc.

 

Asking it to print with s on the front asks it to print the sections not the pages. E.g. You could have 1 section that's 4 pages (Normally SIMs report isn't though)
