Website printing new problem
All of a sudden I can't seem to print any web side. I've tried half a dozen
or more different ones and they _all_ add material that overprints to the top of every page printed. Every web site adds its own material. Stuff like "managing downloads", Lock/Unlock your screen", "Wireless and Networks" and other site specific general info. This material doesn't show in Firefox's page print preview. Of course this ruins the printouts. Did I turn something on in Firefox? Google is pretty useless if I can't print any search results. Help! TIA -- I love a good meal! That's why I don't cook. |

TIA There's supposed to be a setting in the Print dialog to "simplify page". Maybe you could try that. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb...-free-printing Paul |

I think for WinXP, that 52ESR is the most modern available. Paul |

Ken,
BTW. I was experimenting and tried the "full page" option in one of the menus/ DON'T! I ended up with Google on a full page with no way to escape. I finally rebooted the system. (assuming FF v52 ESR) Next to that option it mentions the key to enter, /but also exit/ that mode : F11 Also, when I move my mouse to the top the FF TAB and URL bar appears - including the "minimize" and "maximize" (and close) buttons at the right. Clicking the "maximize" than escapes the fullscreen mode. As for rebooting ? What about ALT-F4 (close current active program), or even the taskmanager (under CTRL-ALT-DEL) ? :-) Regards, Rudy Wieser |

Some of this got added to the printer paper tray - printside down so it wasn't noticed. If it had been put in printed side up it would have worked ok. Now printer works normally. The added text on the pages was just the paper's previous content. sigh I apologize for putting in this paper and not realizing the cause of my problem. El Stupido -- I love a good meal! That's why I don't cook. |

El Stupido Even if I was standing in front of the system, I would have missed that. I do that sometimes for proof prints, flip the paper, as proof prints are a waste. But I usually load those on a print job basis (four sheet print, put four used ones on top). Paul |
