SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to use Internet Explorer to print a Web page that contains check boxes or option buttons (also known as radio buttons), the check boxes or option buttons may not be printed.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, disable Enhanced Metafile (EMF) spooling by following these steps:

  1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers.
  2. Right-click the printer you want, and then click Properties.
  3. On the Details tab, click Spool Settings.
  4. In the Spool Data Format box, click RAW.
  5. Click OK, and then click OK again.
