devries Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 What does the 'print preview' lool like? If it doesn't render ok try a different browser. If it does have a look at the printer settings (though I have no idea what settings you would need to change). As a last resort you can always make a screenshot and print that.

scarecrow Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Which browser? Firefox shouldn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Firefox was a mess for me many times when I tried direct printing. The Mozilla team is trying to improve the print performance. Try with an alternative browser (like Konqueror). Maybe that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 For some reason, Mozilla does not seem to be affected ATM. A possible way to resolve the problem with Firefox is the use of xprint instead of your normal printing subsystem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
