Hi have also had the same problem for a long time on various different printers,have a while ago I posted the same quiestion on here and as fo3nix points out I went over to firefox ans he presto perfect.
I have noticed though that some web pages I could not expand like my bank acount page and I cannot open up my accounts properly, so I have to open up that on ie, appart from that its much better than ie.
Also I was told ie 7 cures this as well dont know if you have ie6 or 7, but I had a load of problems with ie7 and eventually went back to ie6.
