    My boss has been trying to print his e-mails with embedded images, but the images don't print. All we get is a placeholder space where the image should be. Ideally, we'd like to have an option to control whether images get printed or not.

    I Googled this already and the one solution I found, trying to print the e-mail from the separate window using the print icon, did not work.

    Edit: also tried the solution here without success. I had him forward a sample e-mail to me, and I printed it fine in my Outlook (same version).

    I know this is a really old question, but having faced the same issues recently, this is how I solved it for Outlook 2003:

    On the File menu in a message, click Print, and then click the Options tab. Next, select the Print all linked documents check box.

    There is an checkbox under "print options" in the print dialog box called "Print attached files. Attachments will print to the default printer only." That might help, but could depend on how the email was put together. Are these full html formatted emails?

    Does the print preview show the image to be printed? Can you save the images individualy? Drag them to your desktop to save or right click and save to find out.

    EDIT:

    The HTML email might pull the images from elsewhere, so that might be why it does not print them. You can right click and "open hyperlink" on the picture to see where the image is coming from. I am not sure if that is the issue though.

    If it's an internet link to the photo, check these options:

    1. When you open an email in Outlook 2003, there is an option under format to "Send Pictures from the internet."

    2. On Outlook Options, Mail Format, Internet Format, there is an option to "...send a copy of pictures instead of their internet location."

    3. On Outlook Options, Security, Change Automatic Download Settings, there is an option to "Don't Download Pictures or other content automatically..."

    I don't know how to fix this problem but I have come up with a workaround that works for me.

    Click on 'Forward' for the message and without sending it to anyone print the message. Once you have printed it, delete the 'forwarded' message.

    It should print showing the imbedded images.

    1. Choose File -> Page Setup. You see the Page Setup dialog box.

    2. Select the Sheet tab.

    3. Select the Row and Column Headings check box.

    4. To repeat rows, click the Return to Worksheet button next to the Rows to Repeat at Top text box; to repeat columns, click the Return to Worksheet button next to the Columns to Repeat at Left text box. The dialog box shrinks so that you can get a better look at your worksheet.

    5. Select the row or column with the labels or names you need. You can select more than one row or column, as long as they’re next to each other.

    6. Click the Return to Dialog Box button to enlarge the dialog box and see it again. The text box now lists a cell range address.

    7. Repeat Steps 4 through 6 to select column names or row labels.

    8. Click OK to close the Page Setup dialog box. Click the Print Preview button to make sure that row labels and column names are indeed repeating from page to page. To remove row labels and column names, return to the Sheet tab of the Page Setup dialog box and delete the cell references in the Rows to Repeat at Top text box and the Columns to Repeat at Left text box. You can also press Ctrl+F3 and delete Print_Titles in the Define Name dialog box.

    for Adjusting the margins

    • Choose File -> Page Setup and, on the Margins tab of the Page Setup dialog box, change the size of the margins.

    • Click the Print Preview button (or choose File -> Print Preview) to switch to the Print Preview window. From there, you can drag the margin lines to adjust the size of margins (margin lines are the outermost lines). If you don’t see the margin lines, click the Margins button.

    If you go to File --> Page Setup and then click the Sheet tab you will see a box for Print Area. You can either click and drag to highlight what you would like printed or you can type in something like A:K. That will tell it what columns to specifically print.

    To get it to fit the width of the page I would probably play around with the settings under File --> Page Setup under the Page tab. If you need to shrink it to fit you can use the Fit to [x] page wide by [y] pages tall. If you want to enlarge it you can use the Adjust to [%] of normal size (though you could also shrink it this way I find the previous method easier).
