"I Can't Print from IE7"
Neither can I. For one page, it works. For more than one page, it prints my "print header" that shows my website URL and then it is all blank until the next page, which prints fine until the end. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I'm not going to let Microsoft steal all of my time. If you can't use an alternate browser , I suggest you use your pointing device (mouse, etc.) to hightlight the section of the page between the horizontal green bars and to the left of the vertical dotted line. Choose "copy" from your menu. Open up a word processor (here is a Free Office Suite) and click inside the blank page. Then choose "Paste" from the menu. I don't remember having this problem with IE6.
Unrelated Rant: It is very frustrating that such a simple task is not supported. There is nothing tricky or special about it. The page displays fine on the screen. Everybody makes mistakes, but how could they not have tried something like this during testing? There is a "print" CSS page that tells the browser to forget about a whole bunch of screen information in named containers called "divs" and just print the main content. It works fine in Firefox, Konqueror (which probably means it works with Safari), and Opera.
I just read in 2007-12 that IE8 would be standards compliant. We can only hope Microsoft might begin to compete on technical merits and features instead of coercion and vendor lock-in. They make some quality software. It is too bad the management has been, to date, a couple of school-yard bullies, albeit nerdy bullies, with sleazy business practices. I'm not interested in proving this to you. Just look at all the companies that have gone into partnerships with them that had something they wanted.
They were offered to take part in the development of web standards and rejected it. How in the world can we believe them when they say they are interested in interoperability? Ditto for a standard document format. What nonsense.
