— A Special Note about
printing Travel Savvy News Articles —
Every so often, one of our writers would like
to print a copy of their articles for their files only to discover that the
header image (and/or the photographs) do not appear! That's annoying, since the
page heading for TSN is a key component in identifying the the source of the
article.
Please understand that the
"missing image" aspect of printing a page does not
represent a problem with the website. It is an "issue" with the way
some web browsers (most notably Microsoft's Internet Explorer [IE] )
are set up.
Fortunately, this "problem" can be
remedied fairly easily.
The following instructions may appear a bit
vague and you may have to "hunt around" for the exact location of this
setting, because we don't know the the exact version of IE you are using.
Despite that caveat, all version of IE work pretty much the same way, so these
instructions should apply most of the time.
Here is how to setup IE to print the header
(and all images) on pages (takes less time to do than describe):
-
While IE is open, click the Tools menu option (top of screen) and click the Internet options... entry.
-
On the window that appears, click the Advanced tab
at the top of the panel.
-
Scroll down the list of options until you see an setting for
Printing.
-
There should be a check box present with a label reading something like: Print background colors and images.
-
Put a check mark in that box.
-
Click the Apply button, then the OK button to save the settings and close the screen.
-
Close and restart the web browser.
-
The images and colors should print just
fine.
Caution:
Once set up -- every website page printed will be printed with all colors and images! This could use up a LOT of ink when printing a page from a site that has gone "overboard" with their design!
You may need to "turn off" image
printing for some over-done websites. (Just follow the steps above and remove
the checkmark).
If this problem occurs with another type of web browser,
please consult that browser's documentation for the steps required to include
images when a page is printed. (At least you know what to look for!)
