I am not a number I am a free Hitchhiker

Hi thanks for the welcome smiley - biggrin still learning how to drive this thing ! I keep thinking it's going to crash dive into the heart of a blazing sun smiley - doh and sometimes think it has.

Got an idiot sheet in front of me listing some of the smilies, so my comprehension of conversations is slow and limited, but we are getting there, I think? smiley - headhurts

Try saving the page to your local hard drive, and print it when you are offline.

( I am figuring you tried printing while online ?)

If you have a graphics editor, you can save yourself some ink by removing the extraneous graphics.

I saved the entire smiley page to my hard drive this way:

(I am using MSIE 5.5) From the File Menu, choose File > Save As...
and give it a name if you don't like the default. Make sure you know *where* the file will save on your disk. Save it as a 'Web page, complete, (*.htm, *.html)' This will save the entire page, with a subfolder for all the graphics currently on the page, including all the smileys

Then you can view, edit, or print the whole thing offline..

I believe Netscape will do the same thing, but the procedure may be a little different.

Good luck smiley - smiley
