For no obvious reason, my version of FrameMaker (512) skips parts of pages in a document when printing. This affects only a single page in, say, a 15 page document. But it appears to be a random occurrence. Example: A text frame and an anchored frame on a given page won't print, while a second anchored frame (of nearly the same dimensions) does.  

The "missing" areas appear on screen.  

In the recent past I tried everything I could think of to figure out the issue. I even created a new page, copied the material to the new page and successfully printed the whole page. Then, after I had deleted the original page and replaced it with the copied page, the problem reoccurred immediately. 

I resolved the issue by putting the entire contents of the page in question in a very large anchored frame. But it still doesn't really help me, as I don't know why it happened and can't predict when the problem will happen again. Given the size of our documents, I can ill afford to proofread them every time I wish to reprint. 

Here's the only other thing that I can think of. This issue first cropped up when I changed my default printer settings to work with a our Aficio photocopier, then switched back to the original printer, an HP8100. 

My manager tried printing the page in question to her printer and was able to make the missing areas appear. However, other irregularities occurred making the page useless (opaque graphics suddenly became transparent,etc.).   

Any ideas or suggestions? 

Thank you muchly,
