SYMPTOMS
When you try to print driving directions with strip maps in any one of the programs that are listed in the "Applies to" section, only the first page of output may print correctly.



CAUSE
You may not have enough memory available to print the map and driving directions.

This behavior may occur if any one of the following conditions are true:
 * Your printer driver is damaged or is out of date.
 * You are running Microsoft Expedia Streets and Trips 2000 on a Microsoft Windows 95-based computer.
 * You are printing in landscape orientation.
 * You do not have enough memory available to print the map and driving directions.

Note For best results, your printer should have at least 1 megabyte (MB) of memory.



RESOLUTION
If your printer is configured to print in Landscape orientation, change this setting to Portrait orientation.

If you are printing your driving directions on paper that is more than 11 inches wide, switch to standard letter-sized paper (8 1/2 x 11 inches), and then print the map in Portrait orientation.

If the problem continues to occur, try one of the following resolutions.

Set Print Quality to a Lower Setting

 * 1) On the File menu, click Print.
 * 2) Under Options, select one of the options in the Map quality box:
 * 3) * Draft - Prints a map at the highest speed with less detail than the other selections.
 * 4) * Normal (default) - Prints a map with good detail at medium speed.
 * 5) * Presentation - Prints a map with the highest level of detail at a slower speed than the other selections.
 * 6) Click OK.

Empty the Temporary Files Folder
Microsoft Windows uses the Windows\Temp folder to temporarily store files while they are being printed. If this folder is too full to store the printer and file information, problems can result. To empty the Temp folder, use the Disk Cleanup utility:
 * 1) Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Disk Cleanup.
 * 2) Select the drive where Windows is installed, typically drive C:, and then click OK.
 * 3) On the Disk Cleanup tab, click Temporary Files.
 * 4) Click OK, and then click Yes.

Note Disk Cleanup displays a status bar during the process and then quits when the process is completed.

Remove the Printer Program

 * 1) Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Add/Remove Programs.
 * 2) Select your printer program if it is displayed in the list, and then click Remove.
 * 3) When you receive the "Are you sure you want to completely remove the program and all of its components?" message, click Yes.

Remove the Printer Driver

 * 1) Click Start, and then click Printers and Faxes.
 * 2) Right-click the printer that you want to remove, and then click Delete.
 * 3) When you receive the "Are you sure you want to delete the printer?" message, click Yes.
 * 4) Restart your computer.
