Why won't my equations print?

I have inserted equations into my Word doc. Everything shows up on the print
preview, but when I print the document, the equations are missing.
 
Do they actually display in Print Preview or just in Print Layout view?

I have the same problem. They look fine when I look at the print preview. But
if I do actual printing or convert the word document to PDF file, some of the
equations are missing. Instead it generally prints a dash/hyphen.

Thanks,

If I'm not mistaken, the equations are 'transformed' to pictures for the
actual printing. Could it be you are printing in draft mode where pictures
are ignored? (Office button -> Word options -> Advanced -> Use draft quality
(under printing))

It might help, but still some of the equations are printed, but some not.

I'm sure they're grateful for this advice more than 4 years after the question was asked -- but what version of Windows is this??? Support for non-basic scripts has been far easier than that to access at least since Windows XP.

(If these are instructions for Win 8, then Win 8 is far worse than anyone has yet suggested.)
