I was wondering if someone could verify this for me.

Open an IE. Go to expedia.com and find a flight. Select the departure and return flights and get to the "Total price for this trip" page. Now do a print preview or a print.

On multiple computers here, this completely locks up IE. Any other page seems to print fine. It works fine under Firefox.

I'm using IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158. I haven't tried with IE7 yet.

Usually, a lockup on Print Preview or Print is due to a bug with whatever is selected as the default printer driver. It has to query the printer driver for device capabilities before rendering, so that's frequently where things go wrong.

On the same machine that's getting the lockup, try selecting a different default printer (preferably a different brand of printer if available) and see if the bug goes away.

I should have clarified that I tried with multiple different printers, some connected directly, some connected through a print server.
