PRINTING FROM THE INTERNET – Part 1 of 2

When you are reading something on the “Internet” - your email, a newspaper article or something else on a website, you may want to print it for someone else or for your own future reference. There are a few options on how you can do this quickly & easily...

OPTION 1:

  • Almost all email and other media websites today show a “Print” icon or “Print view” – formerly known as Printer Friendly Version) usually at the top or sometimes at the bottom of what we are reading.
  • When you click on this Print icon, the website will copy what you have chosen, but eliminates almost all unnecessary info/ads from the page so that you only print the article or email – saves a lot of ink and paper.
  • Now the print dialog box will appear, choose/left click "selection" in page range section (one of the "print range" choices)
  • Then left click "number of copies you want"
  • Then left click "OK" and what you have chosen prints without all the unnecessary ads etc.

OPTION 2:

  • Another option is to “Highlight” just the portion of the email/article that you want to print
  • Left click on "file" on the toolbar, then left click on "print"
  • The print dialog box will appear, choose/left click "selection" in page range section (one of the "print range" choices)
  • Then left click "number of copies you want"
  • Then left click "OK" and "what you highlighted" will now print

TIP: try not to use the printer icon on your Internet toolbar, because when you print using this ICON, you will print everything on your monitor including the ads, etc..
