+FunLovingGeocacher Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I've just figured out why I get blank sections on the Make this page print-friendly (no logs) If you select ( Encrypt/Decrypt ) to view the hint, when you come to print, the pictures of Signal etc vanish. You are left with a big wasted empy space which gets printed above the rest of the text. Is it just my pc or has anyone elsed noticed this? Link to comment
+crwildwood Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 On my system, that empty space is where the coords are suppose to be! I usually end up having to write them in. Never could figure out why sometimes it printed and other times not. If the clue is a long one, I usually decrypt it....... Thanks for the "ah ha!" moment! Link to comment
kfir Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 So that is when it happens! It happens in IE7 but not with FF2. I have to use Firefox just to print the page in that format. Just doing Print Preview makes it show up. Everything above "Short Description" is gone except for the waypoint id. The information gone includes: cache type icon, cache title, placed by, coordinates, size, difficulty, terrain, etc. Definitely a bug. Link to comment
OpinioNate Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I just tried this in IE7 and didn't have any problem, with or without encrypted hints. Can you link to a cache that is not working for you? Link to comment
+KICT Balloons Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 (edited) Observation on printing from the "printer friendly page". If I get a printer friendly page that is not going to print the header info, I colapse the map at the bottom of the page and the header info comes back. Running Windows XP IE7 I did this on GC10QNA More info... click print friendly page then click print preview and all seams to print as seen, close window and decode any additional hints and then click print preview again and header of page will more than likly disapear, close window and colapse map than click print preview again and header is back. More obsorvation: seams to have to do with the map at the bottom. If the map is split between the pages, the header disapears. If you can manipulate text so that the map is all on the first page or all on the second page when printed it is ok. Edited November 24, 2007 by KICT Balloons Link to comment
