Printing a web page with frames

Peter,

If I understand you correctly, you're using File|Print to print web pages.  Try this. Right click ON the web page. Left click on Print.  Tell us what happens.

Many thanks for your response.  Yes, you were correct and I was trying to print web pages from File>Print.

I tried your suggestion, but the web page contents still printed out in separate frames taking three pages, instead of printing out all on one page on a 'wysiwyg' basis.

Peter,

Found this on the following link: http://www.stargate.ca/cfm/index.cfm?L=82&P=41

When I print a page from my Web site, it prints on several pieces of paper. How do I get it to print on just one sheet?

• Web pages are not the same as printed pages. The best analogy is to think of a Web page as a scroll with unlimited length. Some Web pages will fit on less than half a sheet of paper, whereas others will take dozens of sheets to print.

  If you are concerned about how your Web site prints, you should consider the following:

• If you are tempted to change a Web page so it prints on one sheet, please realize your efforts may be in vain. Each browser prints differently and everyone has different printing capabilities. The page may print on one sheet with your printer, but on two sheets for someone else.

I use a Dell Photo AIO Printer 962.  Usually, the technique I described lets me print a page on one sheet in WYSIWYG format.  As Stargate Connections mentions above, I get different results on my HP R60 AIO. My Dell printer's default print processor (Available on the Advanced tab) is LEMF, not Winprint.  You might want to try similar RAW, EMF, NT EMF or LEMF settings for your printer if available.

Tony - many thanks for your help and I apologise for the long delay in getting back to you.  The problem I have been experiencing in printing a complete web page only happens occasionally; sometimes I can get what I want without any problem at all.

Maybe you can help me with another issue, please? Sometimes I want to download and save photos from websites onto disc. When I later try and open the photo using say Paintshop Pro, I get an error message saying that Windows cannot open this file but needs to know which program created it.  The photos in question all have the suffix    .med.  On my last computer also running WinXP, I found a way of overcoming this problem by opening any such photo using Windows Picture Editor and resaving as a .jpg.  My new pc which is running Microsoft Office 2003 doesn't have this feature, but instead has Microsoft Office Picture Manager.  Do you know of any way to open/resave problem photos like this in a more accessible format?  Thanks.

Peter
