Trying Something New
- Thread starter Rudi
- Start date
Okay now before I get too far into the HTML document thing I need a little feedback and some help from you guys and gals.
I have just uploaded a few new files to the GSS-1053 Mower Cutter Bars - All Models Manual.
a 2 Page Print Test and a 2 Page Print Test No Background.
What I would like is for you all to try and print both of these files. Let me know what happens.
I would do this myself, but between rebuilding everybody else's computer, doing the Cub stuff, a little seat time and trying to keep my better half happy by doing the "honey do list", I have absolutely no time to rebuild my sorry butt computer which is corrupted like crazy!! :roll:
:lol:
Input will be appreciated as you will determine what the format for the docs will be. Choice #1 is doc with title, logo's, buttons and backgrounds. Choice #2 bare bones, nothing added but manual pages.
Thanks

Rudi, the first one took 5 pages to print the 2 pages of the document. (headers & footers on separate pages) The second one printed only 1 page for me. The second page did not print. But it also didn't waste paper on printing the headers & buttons. No background would be my choice.

Rudi I'm using Internet Explorer 6 and if I put my cursor over the picture it prints the picture only and no back ground in either case. but it don't print from the middle of the 2 B's in Ribbon all the way over to the right edge. I am set at 800X600 pixels. Sliding the picture to the right don't change what it prints. I had printer set to print maximum. If I print from the browser button it prints 5 pages as Bigdog said.

George,
When you saved did you save as Web Archive, single file? Or did you save as Web Page complete. I have saved things in the past as Web page Complete and had only red X's. Try File, Save As, Web Archive, Single Page....might help

Rudi,
Both files displayed correctly, but I was unable to print either one. Not to worry... I saved the 20 individual .jpg pages and have them properly printed out and safely in a binder.
My printer gave me a break and didn't pass double sheets, so I have the double sided pages in correct order! :lol: :lol: :lol: This may be a first!
George:
Glad it worked for you. Just between you and me, I consider myself computer literate -
but I still can't figure out how to print double sided 
, so you are a much better man than me! :roll: :lol:
Kristina and I shall be working on figuring out how to make a printer friendly version of the html pages.
I am going to continue to convert as many manuals as I can to the html doc format. At least it will be easier searching on the server. Once we figure it out we shall let y'all know. I am starting with the Blue Ribbon Service Manuals and I shall work forward from there one category at a time. I figure sometime around March or April I should be caught up :lol: :? :wink:

Rudi,
I like the no backround page for my dialup.
When I did a print preview on the two page test, I got page 1 with the cover, page 2 was blank, page 3 had the contents and page 4 was blank.
I right clicked on the contents page and printed that. It filled the paper nicely with about a 1/2" border top and bottom and a little on the left side (room to punch holes).
I did get the http: // * info at the bottom of the page.
All in all, a very good printout and I am very impressed.
If your wife won't bring you meals, I'll ship you some venison burgers and a 6 pack of Rolling Rock if you stay at the puter :!:

Glad it worked out for you. I think we will always have the http:// stuff as the footer or header on page prints. When I printed Jim's FAQ's I got the same thing. We are working on figuring out how to make it more printer friendly.
Now, ifn you was able to get me some of that venison --- I sure could be tempted to sit here for a week or so! My wife doesn't like me to hunt anymore, and my knees won't let me anyways. But, boy do I sure miss my deer on the BBQ!
Deer :?: Puuuuhleaseeeeee :!: :!: :!:

Rudi..... I got a freezer full, but no way to get it to you. Next time I make some jerky, I'll ship you some!
BTW. Love the new version (HTML)
