On many websites, when I try to print the web page it simply does not work

 

 

 

When I just select "Print", essentially nothing happens, no error, no print,

 

nothing.

 

 

 

When I select "Print Preview", I get a blank page and the page count starts

 

counting and continues up to many hundreds before IE7 crashes. I can prevent

 

the crash if I exit print preview before it goes over 700 pages. After that

 

it becomes unstable and will continue counting until it crashes.

 

 

 

Is there any way to fix this?

 

 

 

Using IE7, version 7.0.5730.13CO, on Windows XP, SP2 system.

Thank you,

Web pages are not formatted for printing. Depending on their content,

 

some web pages will print well, others poorly, and many not at all.

 

 

 

If the web page you are looking at has a 'Print this page' icon (or

 

something similar), click on that and your browser will be redirected to

 

a version of the page that is formatted for printing. Another way to

 

print a web page is to take a screenshot and then print the resulting

 

..jpeg. You can also try to copy-and-paste the page into an HTML editor

 

or word processor.

A well-designed webpage will be formatted for printing automatically

 

when you try to print it. This can be accomplished by including proper

 

styles for printing using a media="print" stylesheet.

They are far and few between.

Thank you all for your responses. I guess I will chalk that up to "yet

 

another thing that should work...but doesn't".

Once you've learned more about how web pages work, you'll understand the

 

issues involved in making them print. Until then, it's better to not

 

make rash statements that tend to paint you as less intelligent than you

 

really are. Capisce?

Hi,

 

Is the printer working OK with other programs?

 

 

 

Was the printer installed before IE7? Have you checked the manufacturer's

 

website for updated drivers?

I have the same problem on some web sites. I use "snagit" to get the web page. It will capture a scrolling window.
