(Fix) Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) Prints HTML Code not Text & Images

Internet Explorer 2

So today we had a customer bring in a laptop running Windows XP that would not print websites correctly using Internet Explorer 7.  Instead of printing the text and images it would print the HTML code that created the webpage.  After digging around in several forums I was able to put together the following solution.

  1. Click start
  2. Click Set Program Access and Defaults
  3. Most likely Custom is selected, click the down arrows off to the right to expand the field.  Even if custom is not selected do the same for the field that is selected.
  4. Under choose a default web browser, select Internet Explorer
  5. Then hit Ok

Thats it, now go and try print another website as it should be working fine now.

Let me know in the comments if this works for you.
