Problems printing inset maps on cache pages


Recommended Posts

Someone/Anyone????

 

Sorry if I could not find another thread on this subject.

 

I just tried to print a cache page and the inset map will not print. I'm running Firefox and have it set to print backgrounds.

 

Anyone know if this is a known bug or an intentional change in the site?

 

Thanks in advance

I just printed a cache page to see what was up. When I used the link to "Print: 5 logs" it printed the descriptions and such, then printed a big map on the second page.

 

When I just used the browser print function, it printed the small inset map, but it printed it below the cache info instead of to the right. Again, this put it on the second page. As I was looking at a cache with very short descriptions, this could easily have been page 3 or 4 for a cache with a more verbose page.

 

I'm using Firefox 3.6.17 with no Greasemonkey scripts.

I also print out my pages and like to keep it to one page per cache.

This is what I do:

Print-NO logs (usually a note will take up much less space if there's information I absolutely must have)

Hide images for each entry-this saves space even for things like winter, wheelchair accessible,evince etc

Right click for print preview

Raise the top margin to just about the page numbers (this way the GC code will still show)

Lower the lower margin bottom edge of the page

Sometimes, but not usually I move out the left and right margins

 

then...I click on various percentages until it fits to one page

 

I like to keep my size to 80% or above for my eyes, but will go down as low as 70% if I have to. Below that I print two pages.

 

When I actually do print I click on the circle for 1 page only

 

I'm not too tech savvy, but this method has worked out for me.
