Printing page on digital Model Engineer

[Frank SmallParticipant @franksmall87776]

Hi,

My printer works fine on Word etc but not on Digital Model Engineer.

My PC OS is Windows 7 Premium Home

When I select print on the top of the page the menu shows my printer but fails to print.

When I check in to printer properties the file is not in the queue

Your advice would be greatly appreciated

Thank you for your interest

Regards

I assume that you mean the "Print this page" button that appears when you click on the page to zoom in .. and not the Windows IE/Firefox print icon.

Hi Dave,

Yes, you are correct

"Print this page" button that appears when you click on the page to zoom in ..

Do you have a solution?

Thank you for your interest

Hi Frank

Just tried and printed no problem. I was a bit surprsed at seeing the pages numbers diplayed in the printer dialogue box as "0" but hitting the "OK" button in the dialogue box resulted in a printed page without any problem.

I'm using Widows 7 starter, running on a Toshiba net book, and Firefox as the browser.

You might need to check your local settings.

Hi Frank

Just tried printing a page from latest MEW – no problems. The dialog box enables me to select a printer (defaults to my inkjet printer (setup under 'printers and devices&#39 and also allows me to 'print to file'. Do you have any problems with these items? Haven't noticed the page number that Keith refers to though.

Using Windows Home Premium 64 bit and IE9.

Regards, Roger

Hi Frank,

What on earth did you do with your last msg ??

((Posting deleted by Diane))

I print from the page viewer though I will say that sometimes a page will take a while to upload and no printing will happen till this is complete. I think it was the previous issue of MEW the "programing person" did not position the "downloading" box very well and it was almost impossible to find (top left corner of the page).

Yes, as "Steambuff" says, you print from the page viewer NOT from your browser or operating system.

I have problems with printing pages from back issues of Model Engineer's Workshop.

Although the "Print Preview" shows the correct pages I want to print, my printer turns out a completely black page. Utterly frustrating and expensive on ink. I guess I'm not using the correct procedure. Which one is?

I'm using Windows 7 and my printer works fine for other jobs.

Hi There

In recent versions of Windows you can electronically turn the screen 90 degrees.

I have my monitor mounted on an extending arm so I can rotate it. This is ideal for checking full page proofs.

This is sufficient on most modern monitors to display a full magazine page.

Then press print screen.

Paste this into a paint program as a new image and then you can print it out.

The "Print" item on the left-click menu doesn't work for me either – I just get a completely black page.

However, if you magnify the page you will get a "Print this page" tab appearing at the top. That works OK.

Well, almost OK. Although the colour images come out in colour and the black text comes out black, the black diagrams come out in a rather faint green – thus rendering them useless!

Check your antivirus. It could be blocking scripts on that site.

But the resolution would be terrible – on a modern monitor – maybe 96 dpi. Even a picture image is rubbish below ~150 dpi for printing (and pushing it at that). For text, I wouldn't bother.
