Printing the Wall

Jack Waller

Tried Landscape- still spilled off the page on some threads i.e. the one on P/S - many replies skewed to right.

How to print

Many times I have wanted to print a topic and take it home to digest. When I have, there usually has been text off the page. Grrrr! How to avoid this?

Set your printing preferences to landscape instead of portrait.

Have had the same problem here.

Maybe Dan H or someone from Invision can help?

It seems when a thread gets long, on screen it bumps to the right in the outline type format. That right-hand directional migration spills out beyond the typical printable area within IE. To correct this, I believe the webpage must be coded to have a printable version that reformats to a 8.5x11 format, for example.

In short, its currently not possible.

Jack,

Check your printer "settings", you must have something set- wrong, either under "paper size" or "margins". I tried-it and mine works fine, ya they "trail-off to the right, but not off the page, it just gets longer. And mine`s set on "portrait".

Try

Highlight the dialog of the thread, right click on it and select "copy"

Then open Microsoft Word and "paste" it to a new document and print that.

I did a file/save of the mod/cons thread as a txt document.
Then I opened it in Wordpad and changed the print margins right and left to .5 inches. I am on the road so no printer but I did a print preview and all the text was in the margins.

Do you have another messy wide thread you want me to try this with?

I agree with what Doug said above. Many times I find it easier to copy the document and paste it in Word. then you can play with the font size and how it looks before you print it.

Funny thing is, on that long post I had even gone so far as to paste it into wordperfect - still a mess - then word - still a mess. Fiddled with it - still issues. Then I started to get really ticked off about wasting my time and I printed it the way it was since I wasn't paying for the paper. It wasn't that easy to read though, and since it was a good article that was disappointing. I really wish there was a printer friendly format since my reading time is usually at home in bed.

Not very patient, Jack

Gees Jack,

Do you still have the "book" for your printer?, If not try to "Google" something-up! I can`t understand why your having so many problems with it. It`s got to be under printer "properties", but I`m not a computer "geek", so to speak.

how about

I send you the file I saved and see how it prints on your printer??
