Printing RAT posts - Renatus - 11-06-2014 I want to print off some RAT posts to read at my leisure but, whatever I do, there is always something cut off on the right-hand side. Does anyone know a way around this problem? Printing RAT posts - Gunthamund Hasding - 11-06-2014 what browser do you use? Printing RAT posts - Renatus - 11-06-2014 Internet Explorer but it's the same with Firefox.

Does anyone know a way around this problem?Probably dependent upon operating system (and with Windoze which version & which printer drivers!), but both Apple and Linux use CUPS and I have no difficulty printing RAT under Linux. Have you tried printing/saving to PDF and then printing from that (see attached)? Mike Bishop Printing RAT posts - Gunthamund Hasding - 11-06-2014 if you go to File /Send /page by email and you send yourself an email you will see also a correct html form without the frames on it, pdf will not help you probably Printing RAT posts - mcbishop - 11-06-2014 Quote:if you go to File /Send /page by email and you send yourself an email you will see also a correct html form without the frames on it, pdf will not help you probablyProbably? That seems a bit strong when the whole problem is that the html rendering of the page is not printing in the first place (so emailing an html version won't necessarily help). :-) Mike Bishop Printing RAT posts - Gunthamund Hasding - 11-06-2014 Mike try on an windows PC and you will see what I mean, being in email you will get rid of those frames Printing RAT posts - Renatus - 11-06-2014 Thank you both for your suggestions.

Quote:if you go to File /Send /page by email and you send yourself an email you will see also a correct html form without the frames on it, pdf will not help you probablyThat does work but, of course, I get the whole page, so I can get a lot of extraneous stuff that I do not want. I can't see a way of getting just the posts I am interested in. One solution that I have discovered is to select the posts I want, copy them and then paste them into a Word document. That seems to work. Printing RAT posts - Gunthamund Hasding - 11-07-2014 another one would be a screen capture and crop Printing RAT posts - mcbishop - 11-07-2014 Quote:Easily done with an application like CutePDF or Bullzip. They work just like a printer driver, but you end up with a PDF file which you can then print onto a thin sliver of dead tree with Acrobat Reader. You can then of course make PDFs from anything, should you feel the urge.mcbishop post=361275 Wrote:Have you tried printing/saving to PDF and then printing from that (see attached)?I'm not sure that my elderly computer knows how to do that.
