Try this:

#include <iostream.h>

#define MAXX 3
#define MAXY 3

void print_array(int [][MAXY]);

int main( void )   // NEVER use void main() - it's terribly bad code
        {
        int array1[MAXX][MAXY] = { { 1, 2, 3 }, { 4, 5, 6} };

        print_array(array1);
        }

void print_array(int par_array1[][MAXY])
        {
        cout << "array1[0][0]:\t" << par_array1[0][0] << endl;
        cout << "array1[0][1]:\t" << par_array1[0][1] << endl;
        cout << "array1[0][2]:\t" << par_array1[0][2] << endl;

        cout << "array1[1][0]:\t" << par_array1[1][0] << endl;
        cout << "array1[1][1]:\t" << par_array1[1][1] << endl;
        cout << "array1[1][2]:\t" << par_array1[1][2] << endl;
        }

That should work the way you want it to.  If you have any problems,
email me, because I'm not in a position to test it right now.  :)
