Printing RAT posts
#1
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?

Internet Explorer but it's the same with Firefox.

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)?

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

Probably? 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). :-)

try on an windows PC and you will see what I mean, being in email you will get rid of those frames

Thank you both for your suggestions.

I'm not sure that my elderly computer knows how to do that. I can't see any way of doing it.

That 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.

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.

after that you can use the printed dead tree in other ways... should you feel the urge. :-?
