Printing from a Web browser (a software program that is used to gain access to the Internet) is often problematic, because most Web pages are designed to be viewed rather than printed. Creating a successful printed image depends on the way the page is constructed and the settings within the Web browser. In most cases, these problems have nothing to do with the product itself.

This document contains a number of approaches to correct Internet printing problems. However, the print capabilities might be limited by the browser or by page design, and often cannot be corrected.

Make sure that the product functions correctly

First, make sure that the product prints correctly by following the steps below:

Print a self-test page from the product front panel, or from the product software. Make sure that the black ink and the color inks (on a color product) appear on the test page. If the self-test page does not print correctly, a problem might exist with the product.
Print from several programs to determine if the problem exists only in the Web-browser program.

If either of the two tests for product functionality fail, click Contact HP (

) on this page for more support options.

If the product is working correctly, review the remainder of this document for ways to improve Internet printing.

Issue: Only the banners or headers print

Usually, when only the banners or headers of a Web page print, the issue results from the way that the page was created. Many Web pages are created in a "Frames" method that divides the screen into multiple windows.

First, click inside the portion of the page that contains the information that you want to print and then select the print option. The page should print correctly. For Internet Explorer users, click File and then click Print to see the options that determine what portion of the page is printed.

Change the Encoding setting in Internet Explorer by following these steps:

From within Internet Explorer, click View .
Click Encoding .
Check the Encoding settings:

Another possible cause is that the system resources are low. Close some programs and then try printing again. If the print job is still not successful, restart the computer and try again.

If the previous two suggestions do not resolve the issue, try printing a different Web page. If printing a different Web page fails, try printing from another program to make sure that the product functions correctly. If printing from other software program works correctly, the configuration of the Web browser might be incorrect. Contact the Web-browser manufacturer for assistance, if necessary.

Issue: Part of the page is missing

When part of the page is missing, or "clipped," the issue usually relates to the way the Web page was constructed. Web pages are designed to be viewed at a certain screen resolution. If the resolution of the computer display is lower than the resolution that the Web page was created for, the whole screen might not appear on the printed output. Web pages are not broken into pages with page breaks, so the pages might not break correctly. Web pages that are constructed with "frames" might be the cause of this issue.

Check to see if an option exists for a printable or "printer friendly" version of the page. This generally appears as a hyperlink somewhere on the page. Selecting this option opens a version of the page that should permit printing of the entire page.

Check the Page Setup settings for the Web browser. Make sure that the margin settings are greater than or equal to minimum printable region margins for the product. Also check the page Size and Layout tabs to make sure that the settings match the loaded paper size. The margins vary slightly between products, but as a general rule the settings should show at least the following measurements:

Side margin	Top margin	Bottom margin
6.3 mm (0.25 inch)	6.3 mm (0.25 inch)	19 mm (0.75 inch)

To check the Page Setup in Microsoft Internet Explorer:

Click File .
If all of the options do not display, click the double-down arrows at the bottom of the menu to reveal all of the available options.
Click Page Setup .
Review the information on the Margins and Paper Size tabs. Make any necessary changes to the margins and paper size.
Click OK to save the changes.

Print by clicking File , and then clicking Print . Some browsers can scale the output to the loaded page size.

Try printing the page in landscape mode instead of portrait mode. This can be changed in Page Setup on the Paper Size tab.

Change the video settings to a higher resolution so that more of the page appears. For Windows users, right-click an empty portion of the first screen and select Properties . Click the Settings tab. Change the Screen area setting, and then click OK . Windows might prompt you to restart the computer. Try to resize the screen without restarting Windows. It might not be possible to resize the screen area to a larger size, depending on the capabilities of the video adapter that is installed in the computer. Consult the computer vendor for assistance if issues arise or if the settings revert to the original settings.

Some pages do not print correctly no matter what troubleshooting steps are taken. This occurs because of the way some Web pages are designed.

Issue: The background prints, but is unwanted

Sometimes the background of the Web page prints and this might not be the preferred effect, particularly when dealing with solid background colors. This is controlled by a Web-browser setting, which can be turned off. The method for changing this setting, for the two main Web browsers that are in wide use, is listed below. The steps might vary slightly based on the browser version in use. Please review the browser Help files or contact the program vendor if a different Web browser is being used.

Microsoft Internet Explorer

In Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then click Internet Options .
Click the Advanced tab.
Scroll down to the Printing section, and then click to clear the checkmark from Print Background Colors and Images .
Click OK to save the changes, and then exit the settings.

Netscape Navigator

Click File , and then click Page Setup .
Click to clear the checkmark from Print Backgrounds , and then click OK .

Issue: Nothing prints

Make sure that the correct print driver is selected. Print by clicking File and then clicking Print . The current selected product should be listed in the Print dialog box. Select the correct printer if the wrong one is selected.

Check the print driver Properties to make sure that they have not been set to offline.

Try printing from another program to make sure that the product is functioning correctly. If printing works from other programs, then a problem exists with the Web browser. Try the remaining steps, and then contact the browser vendor, if necessary.

Restart the computer and then try printing again. System resources might be low, or a task that is required to print might not be functioning. Restarting the computer should correct these issues.
