Print?

[blue daisy]

Is there an easy way to print entire threads? Am I just missing something really obvious? Thanks.

You could try clicking on your mouse right button?

In the menu that opens up, you might see Print?

If so, click on it, and then you will see a Print preview of the thread.

Probably in PDF format.

Which you can then print.

 

Though if don't have a printer connected?

When you click on Print, you can then save the thread as a file, on your computer.

I select the whole page (Ctrl-A), then copy & paste into a Word document.  It is time consuming to edit out all the avatars, signatures, etc., but it cuts the size of the document dramatically.

 

I really, really miss the print option we used to have, though - it was great, especially the way it offset quotes.  :(

Thanks!  I kept looking for a print button and thought maybe I was just missing it.  Thanks for the tips though!

Thanks!  I am going to copy and paste a few for now, but a print button would be really handy!

Hi OtherJohn,

 

I recently found a solution to this, when I installed my PDF program again?

I had previously seen an option when installing PDF programs.

A box to tick, to enable the PDF program to be used as a Printer.

Which had always confused me, about its purpose?

But this time I ticked it.

 

Then later when I was on the internet, and did a right click on my mouse?

I found that Print had been added to the menu.

When I clicked on Print?

It opened the web page as PDF page, ready to print.

Also on a forum thread?

It showed the thread as thumbnails. So that the whole thread can be printed, or just some pages of it can be selected.

 

So that by setting one's PDF program as a printer.

Any thread or web page can be printed. 

By a simple right button click, and then clicking on Print.

OtherJohn, I appreciate you taking the time to check on it.

 

Thanks geodob. I will give that a try.
