How can I get Xara websites to print properly?
When printing most Xara websites/webpages, the document splits elements of a page into multiple pages, rather than printing a page that mirrors what you see on the computer screen. This happens with most of our sites, and I viewed several other sites that are posted in different threads here but could not get them to print properly. Does Xara have a way to remedy this?
I've tried different browser settings such as changing the document size (30%, 40% on up to 100%) and have also experimented with landscape vs portrait settings but could not find a solution.
Thanks.

I would export to a pdf and print from there if you must print.

Laurie, give us a URL to look at.

It's all to do with your printer driver, printing in A4, as maybe your web page is longer & wider than an A4 page and that's why it splits. Make a printer friendly version of your site or pages and link it from to an area/icon with your printer friendly pages which are stored in your index folder that should work.

This sounds ideal. Is there a menu selection or a quick way to set up a printer friendly version in Xara WD11 Premium?
Thank you.

I tried several that are posted in the Xara Web Gallery, and more specifically, we just launched www.enlightenedcupcake.com. The site owner asked if there is a way to get the site to print out in a larger font.
I think Albacore's suggestion to make a printer friendly version is a good solution; just need to figure out how to create a printer friendly version.
Thank you.

If you must then you can use a screen grab plugin for your browser which will capture the full page and then save it as a png which can then be printed to any size you want.

Yes cloud's suggestion is very easy to do.

This sounds like something the end user would have to do, or is it something we can set up within the site so anyone can use it? Thanks.

Just make a screengrab image and link to it in a new window.
