G'day again everyone
We have a question from Phillip today

Thursday, 21 September 2006
Hi Matt,
This might interest you. I have found a web site where I would like to print off their information, but my print shows the links, Home Page, Contact us, Services, etc but the info on the screen is _not _printed.
I have found this with Telstra White Pages, where your screen shows 'phone numbers but you cannot print off the page. You get the headings and nothing else.
The site I am trying to print is *** Could you try it, and let me know if it works? If not, then have you any ideas?
My understanding is that anything on a screen could be printed taking as many pages as needed. I know this is different from a single screen print of one page only.
Best wishes,
Philip Smith-Hill

A lot of modern webpages use what are called frames
So the border around the outside doesn't change or load each time you click a link or change pages
Only the content in the centre pane or frame actually changes
This can be quite good and saves downloading some components each time
However frames tend to cause some issues with some browsers
I tried Philip's trouble site with both IE and Firefox and got it to work with both
What I found in this case is I had to be sure to have clicked the middle frame of the page to get that content
By default both programs only print the selected frame
So if you last clicked a link down the left side of the page that border might be all that prints
You can change the default printing options to print the whole page
Here are some instruction for IE
Printing Frames: Printing Options and Framed Web PagesSo by changing this option you can choose to print only a part of a framed page or the whole page as it shows on the screen
Printing frames from a web page requires you to make a change to Internet Explorer’s printing options. Frames are common aspects of many web pages today: an internet site may be split into two or three different frames, for ease of navigation or other reasons.
Find the framed web page you’re planning on printing. Now go to Internet Explorer’s File pull-down menu, and single-click the menu with the left mouse button. In the menu, single-click Print.
The Print window opens. In this window, single-click the Options menu to access the printing frames options. You’ll see a box at the top of the window marked Print Frames. In this box, you can elect to print the web page as Internet Explorer displays it on the screen. If you prefer, all the web page’s frames can be printed out individually. Single-click the circle to the left of either of these options and a green dot will appear in it (green = active, not green= not active). Single-click the Print menu and the frames will be printed according to your specifications.
If you’re only interested in printing the contents a specific web page frame, single-click the frame you want to print, then single-click the File menu and select Print. Single-click the Options tab. Because you single-clicked a frame to select it, the “Only the selected frame” option will be available, and already selected. All you have to do is single-click the Print button to print off the frame.
Some of the better designed pages will also have a link to 'print this page' or maybe just a Printer icon which will lead you to a plain text page that is much easier to print out
And don't forget that failing all else you can always do a screenshot - a snapshot of what is on your screen - and print that
