This is a recurring problem I have printing particular documents with Word
2003 SP1. I am able to print all the documents but those that I can only
describe as ones created with a template. By template, I mean documents that
have gray lines on the blank document for label purposes. When I try to
print using any means (i.e., File print or the print icon on the bar) the
printer powers up and then I get a paper on the printer. The "template
documents" are the only ones I am having this problem with. Any help is
appreciated.
 
It's not clear to me exactly what you mean by template documents. My only
guess would be that you're talking about forms, and that Word is set to
print only data for forms, and the ones you're trying to print are forms
that haven't been filled in. Choose Tools - Options - Print, and if Print
data only for forms is enabled, remove the check and see if that fixes the
problem.

If this isn't the problem, then more information about the problem documents
would be useful. How were these documents created?

(Note... in Word, *all* documents are created using document templates, so I
suspect you're using "template" in a difference sense.)
