Vista - Problem with Dell printer after installation of Vista SP2 (printer prints an extra page)

06-01-2009

Hi everyone,

Just installed Vista SP2.
Everything seems to work OK except for my Dell 1720 printer. It now prints
an extra page before the actual document to be printed.
There are just a few spurious characters printed at the top of this unwanted
page. The following "proper" pages are OK.

I have, so it seems, the lastest driver available.

any clue ? any thing I should check or try ?

Many thanks in advance for your kind help.
with best regards,
Daniel

Were you printing as in "fax" mode ; first page is usually the "cover"
page .
