SYMPTOMS
In Windows Internet Explorer 7, you try to print an HTML page that contains a table. When you do this, the HTML page is not printed successfully. Additionally, the CPU usage on the computer may increase to 100 percent.

When you click Print Preview to display a preview of the HTML page, Internet Explorer 7 may lay out the HTML page multiple times. Additionally, the preview of the HTML page is not displayed correctly.

Note This problem is more likely to occur if the overflow-y attribute is applied to the HTML page.
