New web site printing problem
Site put a big promo window repeatedly on my printout, though it didn't
show on the Firefox display or the Print Preview display. Here's the site https://draxe.com/effective-all-natu...for-arthritis/ 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 -- I love a good meal! That's why I don't cook. |

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. ******* 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". https://www.healthline.com/health/wh...mune-arthritis https://www.healthline.com/health/osteoarthritis 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 |

It's a matter of finding someone who will admit to it. I could probably find a hundred web pages extolling ginger root, before finding one that would tell me there's a possible interaction I should watch. Paul |

I'll supposedly be getting them today so I'll soon find out. Probably a week or so before any indications. -- I love a good meal! That's why I don't cook. |

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? In Google Chrome 63.0.3239.132 (and later updating to 64.0.3282.119) x64 desktop, no navbar banner appears in the preview when I select to print the page. When I "print" to a .pdf file, there is no navbar banner in the output. In Firefox 58.0 x64 desktop, its Print preview show no navbar banner at the top. When I "print" to a .pdf file, there is no navbar banner in the output. I was going to suggest using Firefox's Reader View (since its icon appears at the right side of the address bar when visiting that page); however, the code in Firefox reports "Failed to load article from page". So the code recognizes that it could reduce the content of the page but the server refuses to deliver a reduced content copy of the page. I use the Bullzip PDF Printer program to give me an emulated printer definition that outputs to .pdf files from any program that provides a print function. There are LOTS of similar PDF printer tools: PDFCreator, SumatraPDF, CutePDF, Foxit PDF, etc. I'd stay away from NitroPDF as it was a pig on its disk and memory footprints (but it's been a couple years since I last trialed it). Printing to a PDF file eliminates wasting any ink and paper until you decide to print to a real printer (either from within the web browser by picking a real printer or by using the Print function inside whatever PDF reader you use). A few years ago, both my HP and Canon printers had drivers that installed ancilliary "preview" software. When a document got printed to those printers, there was a config option to show a preview of the document as it would get printed. Those printers got replaced with an HP all-in-one printer. Alas, HP took away the preview option back several versions in their drivers. I could go back to the old driver that had the preview option but I would lose other functions. So I decided to print to PDF to preview before committing to hardcopy. GreenPrint (https://www.printgreener.com/) gives back what the printer makers took away for a preview before print (*not* the preview shown by programs which may not be accurate); however, GreenPrint costs $19 versus the multitude of PDF printer programs that are free, plus GreenPrint works as a PDF printer itself so it makes no sense to pay for it when the alternatives are free. Note that use both uBlock Origin (with several DNSBLs selected but not all) and uMatrix (to block, by default, off-domain scripts only, not other content types from off-domain sources). So those might be altering what Print gets to process although the navbar banner is displayed when viewing the rendered page. If the navbar banner had appeared in the output, I would call the Print Edit WE extension (in either Google Chrome or Firefox) to select elements of the page that I want to delete and then print the result. While Print Edit lets you take away content from a page before printing it, the Nimbus Screen Capture extension (also available in both Google Chrome and Firefox) lets you decide what part of a page to capture and then what to do with that captured portion. |
