A client just advised me that he had used the IE "print" option to print out the home page of his website and none of the screen graphics had printed. I was surprised so I tried IE and Firefox, the same thing happened in both. I then tried IE & Firefox to print this DNNCreative page. Half the logo is missing. Is there any way to resolve this? Look at this site it just prints NN and ine the rest is missing as is the blue banding at the top. It does not look very good does it? Also why has the NN and ine printed, is that part set up as the logo?

Hello,

Yes this skin here is an example of how not to do it! - I will soon be releasing a new skin for DNN creative which includes a special print page.  I think if you have an image as a background image in the CSS it will not include it in the print. The method I currently use is to create a print.CSS file and from this print.CSS file I specify exactly what content to print.  This usually is just the content pane, logo, and perhaps the breadcrumbs. I remove from the print page: the menu, left and right panes etc. - basically content which will generally not be required by the user when they are printing out a page. - So, in my case I have never wanted to print out any background images, all I tend to display on a print page is the main text, as this is what the user will require.

You can see an example of this in action here: http://skins.dnncreative.com/

You can download that skin for free and look at the code to see how I did it.  Hopefully in issue 21 I will be creating a tutorial on how to do this for table based skins and CSS based skins.

Thanks,
