Default New web site printing problem

II don't know whether it will do the same to your printout as it did
to me.

In any event, is there a way to tell on a site if this is going to
happen without wasting a bunch of paper and ink?

TIA


On a couple of browsers here, that page puts up a "Notifications"
prompt, as if inviting the user to allow popups ?

The other kind of dialog like that is the "Location" prompt, which
asks permission to send info about the city you're in, to the web
site. I've seen quite a few of those.

I suspect if you block "Notifications", when the prompt first
appears, that might affect the result.

The only annoyance I get, is a small "Lets Be Friends" bar on
the bottom of the document (last page of 13 sheets of 8.5x11.

I didn't print it, I "printed to PDF" on my Chrome-clone browser
SRWare Iron.

My regular browser, I have a "print to Postscript" driver set up
for an HP 750C. That allows me to do 36" wide virtual prints, up
to 108" long. You can also get that using the Microsoft
Universal Printer Driver, but that flavor is more annoying
to set up. In the case of PostScript, I've even been known to
use my copy of Tailor (PostScript Editor) to remove foreground
(interfering) graphics from postscript print files.

The SRWare print dialog has a "simplify page" option, and perhaps
that strikes the header. I doubt it would kill a notification
that happened to be getting printed.

So my best guess at the moment, is it has something to do
with "Notifications". And there should be a dialog for you
to reject that.


I looked at ToolsOptions and under Content found Notifications. Only
option was turning them off until Firefox restarted. Rather unuseful.
Guess I will have to get on Google tomorrow. Also to find out how to
print from Firefox to PDF.

As for arthritis, there are at least two kinds. Rheumatoid
and osteo. Rheumatoid is an autoimmune disease, and not something
you fix with "bacon fat" :-) On rheumatoid, your body is actively
attacking and destroying the joints. I don't think a simple
diet fixes that one. If you already have a diagnosis and know
for certain what it is, then great. Our doctors here, hardly
ever do diagnostic procedures, they just look at you and
"pronounce" the illness by mental telepathy. Our drug store
pharmacists on the other hand, seem to be better at identifying
the root cause, than even our so-called "specialists".

I tested printing the second one of those, which was full of
side-bar adverts as well as an AdChoice, as well as a
decoration bar near the top, and the print was clean.
There was also no "notification" prompt for that last one.

Change browsers, print to file, see if you can edit
the print if all else fails.

Good luck,
Paul
