So I have this problems where I can't print the on-line articles.


I open the article, choose "Printer Friendly"


When I print or view using print preview it only prints 3 pages, no matter how long the actual article is.


First Page is Header information


Second Page is One Page worth of the article


Third Page is the Footer information


 


I have tired IE 8 and FireFox on a PC at work and my PC at home.


Anyone else having this problem? Anyone have any solutions?

It ssounds like you might have some PDF settings problems. Have you updated your Acrobat plug-in settings for Firefox or IE?

I haven't had any problems. Firefox on Vista.


  1. Click the desired article link.

  2. Download the PDF file into Firefox.

  3. Click File->Print->Whatever printer.

  4. Walk to printer and pick it up.

This was tested using the Raven Queens Champions article (11 pages long)

I can verify that it looks like I would have the same problem, using the latest FireFox.


 


It's not the PDF articles being refered to here, BTW.  But rather, those like Ampersand which are online only currently.


 


If I click on the 'Printer Friendly' button on the webpage, I get a separate screen that shows all of the text from the page,but if I then go into Print Preview, I see three pages only - a Header Page, the first page of the article, and a bottom credits page.


 


I didn't try printing to see if it came out that way.

YES!! Thats IT!


Its not the pdf ones - they are fine. Its the others. They only have 3 pages.


I have to copy\paste them into Word to print them and then the formatting is all messed up and stuff.


I did install Chrome and for some reason that works.


Firefox is my favorite and it wont work.


neither will IE.


Perhaps we could hear from the Website designers to see if they even tested this.


BTW - Everything used to work in the old website.
