Help... internet print problem

Post by Muller »

Hi all, was trying to print some info from websites, but when i print my printer seems to churn out web code rather than the web page itself... any ideas how i fix this?

many thanks for any help in advance.

cheers

Does the same happen when you try to print anything else like a document you have saved, the problem could be with the printer cable or the printer itself.

Also it could be the browser you are using, is it IE7?

try uninstalling and re-installing or download and install google chrome or mozilla firefox and try those.

is it printing stuff like this?

Code: Select all

<div id="blq-mast" lang="en-GB" class="blq-rst"> 
<p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/go/blq/mast/home/-/home/d/" title="Go to the bbc.co.uk homepage"><img src="http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/shared/img/v4/header_blocks.gif" width="107" height="32" alt="British Broadcasting Corporation" /></a></p> 
<form method="get" action="http://www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/search/results.pl" accept-charset="utf-8"> 
<fieldset> 
<input type="hidden" name="uri" value="/" /> 
<input type="hidden" name="scope" value="all" /> 
<input type="hidden" name="go" value="toolbar" /> 
<label for="blq-searchbox" class="blq-hide">Search term</label><input id="blq-searchbox" type="text" name="q" accesskey="4" /> 
<input id="blq-searchbutton" type="submit" value="Search" /> 
</fieldset> 
</form> 
<p id="blq-explore-link"><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/go/blq/nav/more/-/a-z/" class="blq-nav-orange">Explore the BBC</a></p> 
</div> 
<!-- END MASTHEAD --> 
 
 
 
<div class="newsbanner"> 
 
	<h1><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk"><span>BBC News Updated every minute of every day</span></a></h1> 
 
 
	
		
<div class="o">
