Stop printing document properties summary page in Word 2007

I don't know how it happend, but a colleagues version of Word 2007 recently started printing a document properties summary page at the end of each print job. It took me about 20 minutes searching the Internet for a solution to this problem (even Office's help doesn't seem to have any information on this *feature*), so I've decided to put my solution here.

1. Click the 'Office Button' (top-left corner of the window) then 'Print'
2. Click 'Options' (bottom-left corner of the print window)
3. Choose the 'Display' section
4. Untick 'Print document properties'
5. Click OK to all the windows and you're done

Can't thank you enough! Similar situation - didn't know "how" it started, and was unable to correct (via conventional means, i.e., printer options, etc.). All the ink and paper...So, grateful. Thanks again for sharing.

After a ream of paper and an ink change, how simple was that. Also, don't know ho or why it started. Exhausted all typical solutions. Now I have to go back and re-check all my settings.Wow, thank you. Simple solution that I just couldn't find.
