Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Trying to pin down recurrent printing issue

Content Type: text/plain

Every so often, I run into web pages that I want to
print out, but which strongly resist my efforts. The
particular browser *may* not matter -- in which case
I'd have to wonder about lousy page creation / HTML
etc. on the part of the website. (But only someone a
lot more knowledgeable about such things could tell me
for sure.) I have other printers here, and though it
is a bit of a pain to swap them around, I should be
able to rule out a particular printer or printer
driver being involved in this.

Latest case in point:

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2007/05/17/shuttle_ss21t/3

This is probably a good example. When I go to print
this section out on an Epson inkjet printer, using SM
118, it prints it down to "anything big and quiet."
There is a page 2 that comes out blank, and that's
*it.*

When I tried to print it out on the Dark Side, using
the last update of IE 6.x (same printer), 6 pages come
out, with the *useful* end again being "anything big
and quiet" at bottom of page 1. All the other pages
have just a vertical black line at the left margin.
Is there some formatting error right after that point
. . . or was this article fiendishly set up for IE 7.x
ONLY ?

Is there any workaround I could use (on *either*
platform) to capture and print out ALL of the article
content, including all photos ?

TIA.
