TOPIC

    I have an iMac running Mac OS 8.5.1. When I select and print one of the Finder's windows, it sometimes results in icons not appearing in the printout; sometimes the icons getting clipped. Can you explain?


DISCUSSION

    This can be duplicated by printing from any Macintosh running Mac OS 8.5.x or Mac OS 8.6. Merely open a window and select Print Window. Note that in the output not all icons will print entirely, or will not print at all.

    It can occur when the View is Icon, large and small, and as a list. It can occur with windows having as few as four icons (though the clipped icon was near the edge of the printable area) or dozens of icons. The clipping may occur at the edge or bottom of the page. It can occur with a variety of printers, both PostScript and non-PostScript.

    Apple is aware of the issue and is investigating a solution.
