Can't print playlist with iTunes 11.

Since installing the new version of iTunes, I can't print playlists correctly. It prints songs jammed on top of each other. Worked fine with previous version and nothing else changed. Already regretting the upgrade. Is there a solution?

iTunes 11-OTHER, Windows 7

I have the same problem with playlists--all the song titles print on top of each other. This happened just after I installed the latest version of iTunes. I'm using an HP Photosmart Plus B210 series printer. I tried to contact Apple for support but can't find the required serial number and none of their instructions for locating it seem to work for me.

I found a method to print playlists. First select your playlist you want to print. Highlight all songs in the playlist (click on 1st song, then press shift key and click simultaneously on last song). After all songs in playlist are highlighted, right click to bring up menu and select "copy".


Open Microsoft Excel, highlight a cell (ie uppermost left corner) and select "Paste Special" which I believe is under File or Edit menu.


Your playlist will be loaded in separate columns in the spreadsheet that you can then format/enhance with Excel.

Forgot to mention that after you select "Special Paste" in Excel, you have option of selecting "Text" or "Unitext". the Unitext selection worked for me. I haven't tried the "Text" selection. Also you will need to add a column for song numbers on the left side of the spreadsheet then use a simple Excel formula to add the numbering. Type in the number '1" in the first cell of the 1st row and then use a formula to create the "2" in the second cell for the second song ("=" then "up arrow" and "enter" "+1" and "enter"), then copy that formula to the remaining cells in the song numbering column.
