How to set Internet Explorer to return full URL for the Print Job Name

Hello all,
On printing a web page from IE 6, 7, and 8 using javascript window.print command, the name of the printjob is truncated only to the first 63 characters. Unlike IE 9, it returns the full URL, or at least longer.
Does anyone know the way to set those IE versions to return full or wider URL string?

Sorry for lack of detail in my first post. I don't believe this has anything to do with javascript. The javascript command window.print() simply gives out command to the browser to print the web content.
The situation is that, I open a webpage, for example,
http://www.google.com.my/#sclient=psy&hl=en&source=hp&q=some+long+parameter+value+in+the+query+string&pbx=1&oq=some+long+parameter+value+in+the+query+string
Then I right-click on the page and choose 'Print...' to print the page to a printer. Therefore, Windows spooler system will queue the print job with all the metadata about the doc that is printing. 1 of this metadata is document/printjob name, which are
set to the name of the doc. In case of a web page from IE, this field will be populated with the URL of the page.
I notice that, when I do printing from IE 9 of the above URL, the field document/printjob name is the whole URL string. But while in IE 8 and below, only the first 63 characters of the URL are populated into the field. (I.e:
http://www.google.com.my/#sclient=psy&hl=en&source=hp&q=some+l)
I believe this field is set by the application that sent out the printing command to the spooler. In this case, it's IE.
So, my question is, is there any reg settings for IE 8 and below to force them to put in the whole URL in that field instead of truncates them to only 63 characters?

  • How to use Internet Explorer 11 64 bits rather than the 32 bit version, on Windows 7 familial premium 64 bit

    Hi,
    my system : up to date computer, W7 familial premium (64 bit), Internet Explorer 11 (32 bit)
    I use this computer on the web to visit just one website, always the same and several hours a day ; this site advocate the use of Internet Explorer 64 bits for more efficiency.
    How can I get to install, or switch to the 64 bit version of Internet Explorer, as presently when I try to install a downloaded version, I get as an answer something like "installation not possible because the more up to date version of Internet Explorer
    is already installed on your computer". Thanks

    Hi,
    On a 64-bit version of Windows, please click system drive, there should be a “Program Files” and “program Files x86”,
     the "Program Files" folder is for 64-bit programs and the "Program Files (x86)" folder is for 32-bit programs, you will find IE11 64 bit has already installed in you system in “Program Files”>”Internet explorer”.

  • How to set  the CR print job name that displayed in Printer job queue?

    As following image shows, when I press the Print button in Crystal Report Preview GUI,
    a print job is sent to Windows Printer Spool.
    [Windows Printer queue dialog snapshot|http://www.box.net/shared/96vq4qa2mp]
    The "Document Name" in the dialog is like "Crystal Reports - temp_214d9d11-a73f-4872-81f6-b8a63bf0a6b9.rpt".
    I want to know which property of Crystal Reports can be used to set the print job name to a more meaningful one.
    Edited by: Xiaobing Sun on Apr 2, 2009 5:08 AM

    The solution in this thread is for VS .NET as this is the forum for CR in .NET.
    With Foxpro, I suspect you want to create a new thread in the SAP Crystal Reports - Legacy SDKs forum.
    Make sure you specify the exact version of CR used.

    How to set Internet limits to particular user by gpo ?
    Thanks & Regards, Amol . Amol Dhaygude

    Hi,
    >>How to set Internet limits to particular user by gpo ?
    What Internet limits do you want to set for specific users? Group Policy user settings can be configured to apply to specific users, like via security filtering or GPP item-level targeting. The path for Internet Explorer policy settings under User Configuration
    is: User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer.
    You can also use GPP Internet Settings extension to manage IE settings and use GPP ILT to apply the settings to specific users. However, GPP settings can be edited by standard users after getting applied.
    Regarding GPP Internet Settings extension, the following article can be referred to for more information.

  • How to stop Internet Explorer upgrade to IE 10 & IE 11

    Dear All,
    How to stop Internet Explorer upgrade to IE 10 & IE 11 
    In our environment we have around 300 workstations.I need to stop all of the machine users from manually downloading and installing IE.Also how do it stop the IE from updating using Group policy on windows server 2008 & windows server 2003.
    All users machine are on windows 7.
    Basically i want all users to get restricted to IE9.
    Thanks ..
    Mike...
    Regards, Mike ||Persistent Work Triumphs||

    Hi Mike,
    >>Basically i want all users to get restricted to IE9.
    Internet Explorer 10 will be available as an “Important” update through the Automatic Update feature of Windows Update. Users of Windows 7 Service Pack 1, who have opted to
    download and install updates automatically through Windows Update (recommended setting), will automatically be upgraded to Internet Explorer 10.
    However, we can prevent users from upgrading to IE 10 via Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.
    Regarding how to prevent users from upgrading to IE10 or IE11, the following two articles can be referred to for more information.

    how to install internet explorer 8 in windows 8 pc.

    Hi,
    Internet Explorer 8 is not compatible to install in Windows 8/8.1 PC.
    As Rob suggested, we could use Internet Explorer 10 (In Windows 8) or Internet Explorer 11 (In Windows 8.1) developer tools to emulate IE8,
    Using the F12 developer tools; Or build a Virtual Machine.
    Besides, here is the download page:

  • How to open Internet Explorer files?

    I have a bunch of Internet Explorer files that I transferred from my old OS 9 iMac. Now, it seems, I can't open any of them. These are web pages I saved for research purposes, and I would really like to open them if at all possible. It was suggested that Opera 9 could open Internet Explorer files; but, I tried that and it didn't work. Does anyone know how I might do that?
    Carl Kalwaitis

    Archives that you saved with Internet Explorer can only be opened by Internet Explorer.
    These are essentially a single file that contains the entire site.
    Other browsers save files, pictures, and supporting information in a folder for each page you save.
    But, Internet Explorer wraps all that into a single file (a web archive). This format is naturally only compatible with Internet Explorer.
    You need to get the latest version of Internet Explorer for Mac OS X.
    Microsoft has officially abandoned this browser. So, they are not offering it or supporting it anymore.
    But, you can still locate a copy for downloading at:

    Hope this helps.

  • How to download internet explorer

    Does anyone know how to download internet explorer ?

    Probably because there's a ton of website that require IE to run properly.
    That said, unfortunately all you can do is run Windows in a VM environment like Parallels or VMWare Fusion to get your IE fix on.  Sorry.

  • How to close Internet Explorer and other programs running on Windows?

    In order for Flash Player to be installed or updated, any programs that use Flash Player must be closed.  This includes Internet Explorer or other browsers, instant messengers, Skype, etc.
    These programs may be running in the background, not as visible windows, but need to be closed anyway.
    To close such programs use the Windows Task Manager.  To start Task Manager, take any of the following actions:
    Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and then click Task Manager.
    Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC.
    Right-click an empty area of the taskbar, and then click Task Manager.
    Once the Task Manager is running, select the Processes tab.  On older Windows version you may need to click on the Process Name or Image Name header to sort the process names.
    Now right-click on every process that the Flash Player installer needs to close (e.g. iexplore.exe), then select End Process.
    It would be desirable if the Flash Player installer could perform that action by itself; I have therefore created an enhancement request.  If you were affected by this problem, please head over to the Bugbase and vote for this request: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3548136

    Why don't you just download Firefox, 4 through 7 are supported, or if you insist on using Internet Explorer, use Windows.

  • How to open Internet explorer from java

    how can one open internet explorer through java and also displays the desired webpage in it.

    p = r.exec(runie);Whenever you use exec on a Runtime object, you need to get an InputStream off the System.err output. If this InputStream is not absorbed in some way, then it can stop the process. The process may not reach its destined finish point. The Java Documentation does not inform you of this, though experience will give you some unanswered questions, such as 'Why does this process never reach the finish point'.
