I'm trying to print my e-mail to a PDF file, using a PDF printer driver (I tried two different ones). The first page prints with just the header info. Wasteful, but I can live with it. Then I get a full page of text, and then a blank page with nothing but the subject and date (the header and footer info). I estimate the e-mail, which is quite long, should run 4-5 pages. Preview gets the same results, even if I change to a physical printer as the destination. How can I get the entire e-mail to print? (Yes, I've selected All in the printer dialog. I also tried a long page range, such as 1-5. Selection was always grayed out, even if I made sure something was selected.)

You should be able to eliminate pretty much all of the header info by setting View|Headers|Normal. It sounds as if yours might be set to "All".

We had a similar report recently where the poster was trying to circulate Wall Street Journal articles, and we suspect there is a "paywall" which deliberately limits you to the first 100 words or so. Is the content you're working with likely to be from a similar source?

Can you select the text and paste it into your text editor or wordprocessor, and print from there?

Header is normal.

Though this e-mail is from a company, I don't think it's anything they don't want shared. To test this idea, however, I tried printing other e-mails from the company, and they printed in full. So maybe it IS something about this particular campaign. I had forwarded one of the e-mails to a friend, and was able to print her reply, including the full e-mail. Very odd.

Yes, I can cut and paste into another program, though that is obviously an extra step I'd rather not make, but it looks like I will have to in order to save these particular e-mails.

You could try exporting messages to pdf files with ImportExportTools, then open them in your pdf reader to see if all the content is displayed. If so, printing from the pdf reader might work better, or you could just save the pdf. Right click the messages, 'Save selected messages', 'PDF format'.
