Print command on Web page

**golfertel** · 06 August 2018, 08:34 PM

Had to abandon the "Print Page" option for now. I could only get it to work correctly with Edge. Chrome, IE and Firefox printed offset and small, have I missed something.
Pleased that it printed but not any good if it is not correct. Terry

Terry, can't help much without the offending page. The offsets may be what the browser print options are set to.

Thanks for coming back to me, as most of the site is working well, I will come back to this problem later. Terry

All pages on the site are displaced to the right. I have had to attach the complete site because I did not know how or if I could attach a single page. The particular page I'm interested in callers to print is the "Seniors Open". When I go to other sites their "Print Page" comes out perfectly OK, whatever browser I'm using so I assume it is my error. Any ideas please.

Further question how do I delete captured images in the "File Upload Manage" Terry

Terry, part of a solution for you to try.

change the link to

Code:

javascript: var pWindow = window.open(window.location, "Print Window", "width=840,height=1400", "toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,top=100,left=100"); pWindow.print();

the problem with Xara centring web pages is he left margin becomes part of the printed page and is therefore dependent on the width of the browser at the time. If the browser has a horizontal scrollbar then the whole page is placed nicely.

This fix open a new window to such a width and then enables the print.

Try this tweak, which should close the pop-up after 10 seconds if the print is cancelled or committed.

Code:

javascript: var pWindow = window.open(window.location, "Print Window", "width=840,height=1400", "toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,top=100,left=100"); pWindow.print();void(setTimeout('pWindow.close()',10000));

Thanks Acorn. I think we/you are nearly there, my page I think needs some tweeks but haven't time to finish tonight, it is printing centrally but has rubbish amongst it, will sort tomorrow. Thanks for your help.
