Ting,
Assuming you use MS Word, here are a few steps to perfectly printed I-Ds:
1. Save the I-D from your browser to your hard drive as a .txt file (not HTML).
2. Start MS Word and open the draft in Word.
3. Use Print Preview to see how it will print (scroll down a few pages to
check it out). Usually, it'll look just fine, but sometimes the pages
overflow and you get two pages to be printed for every one in the
document. In that case, use the ruler on the left of the print preview
window to increase the page length until the I-D pages fit.
4. Print to your hearts content.
Occasionally, a draft will use lots of white page between pages rather than
form feeds. These are notoriously difficult to print correctly, and if I
really need hardcopy I will usually use global replace to replace the white
space with a page separator.
Cheers,
Andy

Hi,
I have a question on how to print Internet Draft with the right pagination
on Windows machine.
Take the document below as an example,
<http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-hain-msword-template-06.txt>http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-hain-msword-template-06.txt
If I print this document from Internet Explorer or notepad, the page
breaks occur at the wrong place.
If I type "type draft-hain-msword-template-06.txt > LPT1" in the cmd
window. The page breaks appears at the right place, but the font has changed.
Do you have any suggestion on how to print the draft with right pagination
on Windows machines?
Thanks.
