This goes back all the way to Mozilla, so it may be a W3C compliance
issue, but it's annoying nevertheless.
On many websites, I can't seem to get a decent printout. For example, my
local paper has a searchable obituaries page, and I got 60 hits on my
last search, but it would only print the first page. I can see the rest
on screen, but I can't get them out on paper.
<http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/montgomerynews/obituary-search.aspx?page=1&affiliateid=2762&countryid=1&daterange=88888&stateid=49&startdate=20110116&enddate=20110210&entriesperpage=50>
This returns 60 hits, of which the first 50 are displayed, but only
seven will print. In fact, in print preview, the first page is the page
header with no content, the second page is the first page of content,
and the third page is the page footer. That's it. The other 43 hits have
vanished.
I've tried this with several different printers, including Adobe
Acrobat, and they're all the same. Mozilla and SeaMonkey seem to think
the second page is 10 feet tall and print only the first 11 inches.
Needless to say, it prints fine in Internet Exploiter (except the header
page, which is the same in both).
Any ideas? I hate wasting ink and paper on ads, and I really hate having
to switch browsers whenever I want to print something.
Paul, does spoofing your SeaMonkey as FF or IE help the situation??
Dunno, have never tried. How to?
Paul, when I examine the header of my message, I can see:-
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.16)
Gecko/20101123 SeaMonkey/2.0.11 not Firefox
where as yours has:-
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.16)
Gecko/20101123 SeaMonkey/2.0.11
Note the "not Firefox" on the end of mine. If people go to a website
which wants to display itself in a particular way, it will examine the
User Agent and look for, in most cases, either MSIE versions of Firefox
versions.
If it doesn't find these option, and some others maybe, it might not
display anything or just a plain vanilla versions of the page. By adding
the "not Firefox" at the end, I can bluff servers into thinking I am
using Firefox.
To add the "not Firefox", which is enough to trick most servers, go to
the browser, type about:config in the address bar, then type user in the
filter bar, double click on general.useragent.extra.seamonkey to edit it
and add not firefox (or something similar) at the end.
Reboot....Job done.
Others might suggest doing this other ways....your choice.
