Possible bug: After using page setup in print preview it clears the preview screen and locks up the window (no visible widgets). I have to close the window from the title bar and start the print over.

On any page, select "Print->Print Preview". Once in the preview window, use the menu to select "Print->Page Setup". In the setup dialog box, click on the "Margins & Header/Footer". Modify some headers and footers. Then click on OK.

The preview window will either be cleared or become unresponsive. The only way to proceed is to close the preview window using the Windows close button in the top right hand corner. I must then start my printing over.

I found that I can work around this by first changing the page setup BEFORE going to print preview. However, this looks like a bug and it should be investigated and fixed.

Both printers? Or just the HP Photosmart C3100 series printer?
