Printing WMS layers in ArcMap 9.0

[Bonnie Stewart]

Hi all,
 
Technically, I suspect this question would be more appropriate for an ArcGIS users forum, but from what I can find there's not a lot of help out there on ArcGIS issues, so I was hoping someone else from the Mapserver-users community might be using ArcMap, and might have encountered this issue before.
 
I've got a couple of mapfiles up and running which are include various vector and raster layers, and mostly I'm accessing them via ArcMap 9.0. However, I'm having trouble getting ArcMap to print my WMS images - print preview always comes up blank, and if you go ahead and print a page anyway, it's blank.
 
ArcMap's Help says that ArcMap converts maps to .emf (Windows Enhanced Metafile) for printing, and suggests manually doing an export to .emf and then opening up the .emf to see where the problem lies. Well, I've done this, and the .emf comes out entirely blank. To compare, I've tried exporting to .bmp, and that comes out fine.
 
Is there a problem with exporting WMS images to .emf? 
Is it possible to get ArcMap to print from a different export format?
 
I have absolutely no GIS experience, so it's probably something very obvious, but all help would be much appreciated!
 
(Would be happy to provide the mapfiles etc, but as I can print fine in Internet Explorer, and ArcExplorer 4, I don't think it's an issue with the mapfiles..)
 
 
Cheers,
 
 
Bonnie
