Printing from Digital Editions

[Ray LyonsParticipant @raylyons29267]

Just noticed when looking at the latest edition of MEW that there is no icon for printing from the digital pages. I tried going into the computer system but when I look at the print preview it contains only a few tightly packed lines at the top of the page.

I have recently changed my computer and now run Windows 8.1 but would not have expected this system to stop the printing. Anyone else suffering from the missing printing access.

Sorry, Finger trouble or is it eye trouble. The print option now appears at the top of the page being viewed

Don't take the digital edition any more but as far as I recall it was always at the top of the page being viewed …. at least since they changed to the flash viewer about 4 or 5 years ago.

I tried again later and failed to print from the page. Went back to my old computer running Windows Vista and printed out no problem so it must be something to do with Windows 8. I will have another go later but at least I still have access using the old computer.

FWIW Ray, while I was getting the digital edition, I could print quite happily with both Windows-8 and 8.1 so it does (or can) work with that OS. As I recall, when the mag first loads, you have to click on a page and use the mouse scroll to zoom in a bit before the print icon will appear at the top.

Edit, I was using Firefox for a browser although I also checked it out with IE.

Thanks for that. I had a feeling that it was the new operating system and last night, I downloaded an update which fixed the problem. Now printing direct from the page.
