Icons and text may be clipped or simply not printed, when printing many items using the Finder's Print Window command.

Note: Updating to Mac OS 9.1 resolves this issue.

Symptom

Icons and text may be clipped or simply not printed, when printing many items using the Finder's Print Window command. This may occur from all view options: Icons, Buttons, and List.

Products affected

• Mac OS 8.5
• Mac OS 8.6
• Mac OS 9.0
• Mac OS 9.0.4

Solution

If you encounter this issue, you may be able to fully print the contents of the window by:

• Changing the View to another setting: Icons, Buttons, or List.
• If the View setting is as Icon, try selecting another icon size. (Choose View Options from the View menu.)
• If View is set as Icon, reposition the icons in the folder.
• Reducing the number of items in the folder before printing.

Note: These solutions may not work in all cases. Some window contents may continue to be clipped even when printed in list view.
