The Group was displayed on the screen, but when I "Selected All" and "Control P", every name printed on a separate page!

There is nothing in Thunderbird called a Contacts List, nor a Group. I'm going to guess that this was a Mailing List. Or you might mean one of the individual address books such as Personal Address Book?

I have just selected Personal Address Book and have looked at its Print Preview and a printout to pdf and in both cases there are multiple Contacts per page.

And I have just done the same with a Mailing List, with the same outcome.

So help me to replicate what you're doing.

Thank you, Zenos. I apologize for using the wrong terminology (in my previous e-mail program, Outlook Express, the Address Book was called "Contacts"). As you suggested, I printed from "Print Preview Address Book" and it printed as you said.

What do you think you did differently this time? Just printing from the preview page? That shouldn't make any difference, but historically we have heard of a few glitches (e.g. default printer selection) associated with the print preview.

Or is something that only occurs when printing to a real printer? (I haven't tried that myself.)

Zenos, thank you for your continued interest. When I tried printing an Address Book with "Control P," as I said previously, every name printed on a separate page. But when I went to File/Print Preview Address Book, it did not give me a PDF Preview; it simply printed out the list with multiple names per page. That's all I wanted, so I'm happy with that!
