Since 5/13/17 I cannot print the image shown on www.Bing.com Until then, Right click -> "view background image" -> prinable page. Now, this option "view background image" is greyed out.

The only other browser on this WIN 10 thing is MS edge which is useless in ALL respects.

Page setup -> print background is checked.

Just wonder if anyone else is noticing this? I cannot find other pages (with right click menus) similar to bing.com

Thank you

Bing's home page has a transparent element in front of the background, so a right-click gets intercepted and doesn't reach the background. It's probably related to the various hotspots around the image you can click for more information.

To download the image or find its address, try using the Page Info dialog. Either:

  • right-click (on Mac Ctrl+click) a blank area of the page and choose View Page Info > Media
  • (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Media

Click the first item in the list of images and glance at the preview. Arrow down, keeping an eye on the preview, until you get to the one you want to save.

Then either:

  • Click the Save As button to download it. Then you can view it in whatever program you like for printing.
  • Copy the URL of the image using either of the following, then paste that in the address bar and press Enter to load it:
    • right-click the file in the list, then Copy
    • triple-click the file name next to "Location:", then Ctrl+c or right-click > Copy

Not as convenient but... worth knowing for future reference.
