Why doesn't my print-out look like the screen view?

This happens every time I use Firefox.
Whenever I try to print a listing from Ebay, the main picture is omitted from the print-out. Here is an example. This first link is to a screen-shot (Fn and PrtSc) of a typical listing on Ebay:
http://s1176.photobucket.com/albums/x327/xvqgp/Firefox
On the PhotoBucket page look for the image FirefoxScreen.jpg
There's a big picture of the item at the left-hand side of the page.
Now take a look at what I get when I use the Firefox 'Print' command (this is a scan of the printed page):
On the same PhotoBucket page look for FirefoxPrint.jpg
There's a big blank space where the main image should be!
I have not been idle and have checked a few things before posting this question:
1) I have attended to the print settings as highlighted in the helpful Firefox article on printer troubleshoting. It has not cured the problem.
2) From the same article I have tried the 'Print' function on Internet Explorer. While it pains me to say this, I get the correct printing from Internet Explorer.
3) Operating Firefox in 'Safe Mode' has not removed the problem.
4) Operating in 'Normal' mode but with add-ons disabled has not removed the problem.
5) When I hover the mouse over the main image on the Ebay page I get
javascript:;
in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. Might this be a clue or is it a red-herring?
I would be most grateful for help.

Have you tried using the '''Print''' item at the bottom if that eBay page? <br />
Or is that what you are using?
Overall it isn't unusual for "print" to be a bit different than what shows on the "screen", that page may use @media for "screen" and for "print". The '''Print''' item on that page could be the difference, or the web browser might be following that code is you used the '''Print ''menu item or button''''' in Firefox. <br />
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/media.html#media-types
Typically, the '''@print''' CSS code is used to hide navigation menu's ''(can't "navigate" to a different web page from a sheet of paper)'' and maybe advertisements ''(can't "click" on an ad that is on paper)'' from being printed out so that only the text of an article is printed to paper.
Basically, it's probably not a fault with Firefox, but rather Firefox following the commands on the page put there by the person who authored that page, or a standard CSS "style sheet" used by eBay.

    "Vaguely like" is the best we can hope for and a minor miracle in itself. PDF was never meant to be converted.

  • HP C4180 all-in-one, Windows Vista 64-bit, purple in photo prints out looking like blue

    Driving me crazy.  School colors are purple and white.  Anytime I print a photo of our football team, the purple turns out blue.  HELP!!

    I have the same freaking problem and I have this problem on two of the 3 computers I have it installed on. One of the computers is a 64 bit windows 7 Ultimate and the other is 32 bit Windows 7 Ultimate. I have a feeling that it is caused by uninstalling and reinstalling to many times or using a recovery software program, and as I know HP doesn't have a uninstall utility for the C309a series printer that uninstall everything, including the registry keys. And I'll bet that is where the problem lies. If anyone know a fix for this problem PLEASE LET US KNOW!

  • Why doesn't Preview print out my pdf forms as edited anymore?

    A week ago, I was able to print out a pdf form  the way it was editted on the screen using Preview. As of Wednesday, it no longer prints what I have editted in Preview.  It prints the naked, empty form only. No edits.  I have Mountain Lion and am using an hp deskjet 6122.

    Assuming that you're talking about printing from Adobe Reader for iPad or iPhone, you either (1) need an AirPrint-enabled printer, or (2) (for the iPad only), purchase a third party app like Printer Pro from Readdle.
    Here's a list of AirPrint-enabled printers:

    If you're talking about printing from Reader on your laptop or desktop computer, you're in the wrong forum.

  • Prints dont look like the image on the monitor

    I have tried everything I can think of--I'm desperate for help!
    Heres what I have and my workflow
    Windows 7/64
    All drivers and software are up to date.
    Photos taken with 5D Mark iii in Raw
    Developed in Camera Raw
    Tweaked in CS6
    Color space is 1998 RGB
    Saved as jpeg
    Using a Lenovo Desktop- Ideacenter B520
    Printer is Epson R3000
    Monitor and printer are calibrated with Colormunki Photo.
    In photoshop I softproof using the profile created with colormunki and the image looks excellent.
    Whn I print, I choose "photoshop manages colors", and in the printer setting I make sure color management is turned off. The prints look very dull and washed out. I make sure the correct printer profile is chosen (the one created with colormunki for the specific paper I use)
    Bust, if using the same image, I choose "Printer manages colors", and then in the printer color management choose "Adobe 1998", the brints look wonderful.
    What am I doing the is causing Photoshop manages colors to look worse than printer manages colors, when in both cases the image looks great on the monitor?
    Thanks so much

    you could probably start by posting a screenshot of
    Photoshop> File> Print (window)
    and

  • Print out of 12 month screen view

    the 12 month view is available as an option on screen and for planning is excellent.  I would like to be able to print this for reference/other planning.  Print options seem to allow only one month at a time.  Is there any way to get an A4 print of the 12 month view?

  • Why doesn't my lyrics come up on the screen when a song is playing?

    Before I updated my iPad to iOS5, the lyrics would automatically come up when a song is playing in album cover view. Now nothing. Even after I erase the lyrics and retype them in iTunes it still doesn't work. Is there something that I'm missing? Please help.

    I just did some poking around on other Apple forums here and found a recommendation for an app which actually does take the embedded lyrics from iTunes and display them on the iPad. It's been around since November, so I don't know why I never saw it before. I'm posting the information about it on several threads so that others are aware of it. It's called Lyrics View and it works well. The only quibbles I have with it are that it doesn't display the title, which the Music app used to do automatically, and when you switch out of the current song it takes you to Songs rather than Artists or Albums, so you have to change to Artists if you want to hear someone else.
    It also displays the lyrics with the first lines all the way at the top of the screen, so they are sometimes hard to see behind the progress indicator, but you can make the indicator disappear with a click.
    At least there's a workaround until Apple fixes this, assuming that they do.

  • Why doesn't my Layer menu look like Julianne's?

    I was watching a tutorial by Julianne Kost "Creating Transparent Logos for Watermarks and Overlays in Photoshop CC  Her layer menu had a selection "Type", "Create Work Path" and mine did not.  Any idea why not?

    In answer to your question:
    If it's the video I found online, made in 2011, I believe that was Photoshop CS5 she was using.  Some things have been moved for better organization in recent versions.

  • Why doesn't Muse update in CC like the other Applications?

    Whenever Muse has an update, I don't know about it until I open the Muse application and it asks me if I want to update. The the AIR update appears and I have to close Muse so AIR can update. Is this normal?

  • Why doesn't my yahoo email page fill the screen

    Help where did you go? Should I stay on Firefox question screen or ahoo email

    Should I start question/problem description all over again?

  • When opening it looks like the screen will appear normal, but it opens with everything shifted to the left, so there is no scrolling etc.

    The Firefox main window appears to start opening normally for a couple seconds, then everything is shifted to the right so that there is a large white space on the left of the screen and a portion of the screen is missing on the right along with the scroll bar. There is really very little navigation capability. I have checked and rechecked all of the settings and I do not know how to fix this problem. Other browsers open and work accordingly, but we enjoy using Mozilla the most.

    If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Printing looks like the ink is running out at the bottom of the page

    My HP Deskjet D4260 just developed a new problem.  The printing on the bottom half of the page looks like the ink is running out, but cartridge is nearly full and the "low toner" light is not on.   It looks like the printer gets lazy half way through the document, but machines don't have personalities, right?  I have tried shaking the cartridge.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    i know i have to but they are charging me 70$ to inspect it. im just so ****** about the slight peeling when its so new and treated my computer like a baby.
    I have a difficult time believing that claim. Make an appointment at an Apple Store with a Genius, Apple does not charge for the Genius service. If you are being charged by an AASP make an appointment with another AASP or contact Apple Customer Service. You can reach Customer Service by first calling AppleCare, explaining your problem and then request to speak to Customer Service.

  • Why did Apple make iTunes 7 look like a Windows XP App.?

    Why did Apple make iTunes 7 look like a Windows XP App.? This version of iTunes doesn't even look like it belongs in OSX. It's ugly is about the only way I can put it. I can't figgure out why they removed the EQ icon and didn't even assign a key command for it. Now yoy have to go into the menu to select it. Also I have noticed that it sometimes downloads the wrong artwork for album covers. The old version of iTunes seemed much better and I have reverted back to it untill Apple fixes the problems with version 7 and makes it look like part of the OSX family of applications.

    Well I wouldn't say it was ugly but some changes do leave something to be desired.
    I certainly aggree about the equaliser button and the visualiser button has gone too but at least they assigned a key command for it. The scrollbars need more colour and I'd prefer the buttons at the bottom to stand out a bit more like the ones at the top.
    I see no reason to go back to iT6 though, especially as I would misss Cover Flow. You could have a long wait for a change of interface and in the meantime you miss out on the good parts of iT7. If your track information is correct and identical to that on the Store then it shouldn't get the wrong artwork. Luckily I already had most of my album covers in place from other sources such as Amazon and just used iTunes to get a few more. My only complaint about the Get Album Artwork feature is that it's getting it from the US store when I want it from the UK store.
    Anyway these forums are really here to enable users to help each other solve problems and not to discuss Apple's decisions. If there are things you want changing then do what I and others do and send constructive criticisms and requests via the link below, if you haven't already.

  • I "Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems", but it doesn't look like the view on getting started: ie

    I "Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems", but it doesn't look like the view on getting started tutorial, ie: there's no "Firefox tab". I would really like to clean out all the old stuff, including add-ons and plug-ins that I've tinkered in, but don't know about or need any more, then start fresh with the latest Firefox. How can I do that?

    The Firefox button does not or did not showupon Windows XP by default.
    It is easy to display that just remove the option to display the menu bar toolbar. Note
    # The functions and available optons are much the same just organised differenttly
    # Menu tool bar may be displayed temporarily; even if the Firefox Button is present: by holding down the keyboard '''Alt''' key
    #To remove the menu toolbar use '''View -> Toolbars -> []Menu Toolbar'''<br /> see [[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar]]
