Why don't figures in internet docs print

My guess (and its just that) is that you don't have sufficient RAM in your printer.

Hope it helps.

as with the first answer, mine is only a guess, and I don't know a lot about Web programming, but are the images static images or are they dynamic.

If they are dynamic, then they are probably placed on the site by another program. Another thing is that the image might not be imbedded in the page, and will probably be printed as a small square with an "X" in it.
In which case, you will have to right click on the image and SAVE PICTURE AS and/or PRINT TARGET.

Can anybody confirm or deny this and set me straight? I know I have had this problem and these seem to be the only causes I can think of.

What kind of empty boxes?
The reason I ask is that it could be one of two common problems - if the boxes are square, with an X, there was difficulty transmitting the graphic (for any number of easons from line noise to missing files). If the box issmall and rectangular, it's a printer issue - either a missing font or one your printer is unable to render, once again, for any number of reasons.

what hapens quite often in these sort of cases, is that once you have viewed the website, when you go to print it, the browser reloads the entire site from the web server, to the printer. Sometimes, it will encounter problems with the transmission, and just give a box with an x to show that it couldn't load the image when it printed. Sometimes it helps to do a print preview first, and then print from there.

hi mgraham,

it does sound like a dynamically-built page. if all else fails, save it (you must save all the attending graphics individually too!) and print from a local copy.

hth,

I use ie5.5 and have the same problem. If the page has a 'printer-friendly' option use that. When saving the web page I use Web Page, complete (*.htm,*.html) and have had some success. If I select the web page and then copy the web page to Word, thecopy keeps the placeholder for the images. Then I copy each image and paste it to the spot in the Word document. This will not work if you do not indicate to save place holders in the advance tab in Internet Options under Tools.

Good luck.

Try highlighting what you want to print, then with the cursor over the section you selected right click, and use that print command. If the options box pops up, check SELECTION and then ok.
