Whenever I try to print a page in IE--it doesn't matter what page--I get (in
print preview) 11 pages of dense writing

The first line of the first page is as follows

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

How do I get rid of all this gobbledygook so I can print the page I want?

Right now I am forced to copy the page to Word and print from there
Thanks
 
All I do is go to print and then when the print screen comes up I put in the
pages I wish to print.
 
I don't know what your question is. When I want to print something I simply
hit print, then I check with preview printing (since this is always coming up
with the 11 pages, I don't print but rather copy and paste the material in IE
to Word and print from there. This is time consuming, etc.

Before printing, try changing the setting to [View > Encoding >] Western
European (Windows)

If no joy, try Auto-select.

I tried both of your suggestions: same result as before.

Also, when I went to Windows IE Help and went to a topic the same first line
appears and the information is formatted very differently from how it should
be.

I have Windows XP home edition; IE 7
Would it be easier to simply remove IE 7 and then reinstall it?

great news; I was having some other problems with aol; I contacted an aol
tech and he had me reset the IE setting back to default (apparently I had
somehow changed them); so now I'm printing off of IE
thank you for all your efforts
