When visiting newspaper websites, sometimes the whole article does not print when I use File--Print. Print Preview confirms that only part of the article is available. Is this a coding error on the part of the newspaper?

I have tried to right click to pull up Print to see if that will help, but in general with all the newspapers I visit, Print does not appear as an option when I right click.

I am using Windows 7 as my os.

Thank you for any help.

hi,

I'm not sure as to what the reasons may be, but there are some options you could try. If the site offers a print button / link try using that because that usually opens a print optimized page different from the actual web page. You could also try enabling the Print Background (colors & images) option in Page Setup....

Firefox has never had a contextual menu item for Print, Print Preview, or Page Setup, but there are a few extensions available which add those items to the context menu. But that won't help with printing a page like that.

Is there a "printer ready" button on the page?
