Printing web page with select tags in IE9 and a .cfm file-only the original selected option prints

My web page has a select tag and cfselect tags and when I print the page with a different option other than the originally selected option the print for both types of select tags reverts back to the original selection and ignores the new selection.  This happens in IE9 and .cfm files but not when the page is printed in IE8 or IE7 modes (tried in the F12 Developer Tools.)  It also needs to be a .cfm file.  FireFox printed the pages correctly for any combination.
This was done on a Dell and ThinkCentre computers under Windows 7.  Also, I was able to reproduce the same problem on an different university web site where a selection box would revert back to the original selection for printing on a .cfm page and would print properly on a .PHP page at the same site.
For my site, I used a print button which calls print() and right clicked and chose print and got the same results no matter which method was used.  I only had the right click method on the third party web site.
I know this is probably a bit narrow an issue but, any help would be appreciated.

It appears that it is probably an IE9 bug.
I simplified the problem by turning the page source taken from the brouser of the original .cfm into an html file and found that it would still print improperly.
When I eliminated the various parts of the file I found that it would print correctly only when I removed the first line, the "DOC type" line.
The page will print the newly selected option but then I lose the style sheet.
If it does not work in an HTML file it must be IE.  It is not the .cfm.  The reason that it did not work for .cfm files, is that they always have a "DOC type" statement.
I have put the issue into an MSDN forum in addition to the one mentioned previously.

  • How can I print web pages with HP psc 2175 printer?

    Hi,
    I'm having difficulty printing web pages with my HP psc 2175 printer. The printer spits out many pages before the actual page I want printed and then at times it doesn't print all of the section desired.
    In fact, when I copied one page the other day, saved it as a pdf file to my computer, opened the file and the document still would not print.
    Anyone have any idea what could be happening?

    I have a strange issue - I am also using HP Envy 100 410A and its prints fine from iPad2. But when I try to print from my Gen 1 iPad, it goes thru the motions (shows the printer, allows to select which pages to print, double sided print etc.) but the printing actually doesn't hapen.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

  • I can not print web pages with my HP Deskjet 5440

    I can not print web pages with my HP Deskjet 5440.  I use Vista, no error page, just prints a blank page with headers and footers.  Recently reinstalled printer driver from HP.

    Hello , Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that since upgrading your Mac OS X 10.10 computer to Mac OS X 10.10.4 you have been unable to print colour photos wirelessly from your HP Officejet 5740 e-All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this colour printing issue. To be honest, it does sound like Mac may have loaded the generic Apple Airprint driver on your printer rather then the HP Full Feature Software and Driver package. Should this be the case then you will only have basic print capabilities. Please follow the steps below to confirm that your HP Officejet is utilising the correct driver on your Mac.   
    1. Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences. 2. Click Print & Scan, and then check if the name of your printer displays in the Printers list. 3. Click the name of your printer, click the minus sign (), and then delete the printer.  4. Click the plus sign (), click Add Printer or Scanner, click the name of your printer, 5. Click the Use or Print Using box, and then select the name of your printer in the pop-up menu. Ensure that the Officejet driver is selected and not the Airprint driver.
      6. Click Add to add the printer to the list.  Once your printer has been installed with the correct HP driver, please test printing a colour photo to confirm that the issue has been resolved. Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Should the issue persist there are additional software and driver troubleshooting steps I will have you perform. I look forward to hearing from you!

  • Why in the world would Apple make the track pad LESS useful in OS Lion?  I hate that I can't g back to the top of a web page with a singe swipe.  And of course all the other gestures are totally reversed.  IMHO, this was not an imporvement.

    No one here works for Apple.
    Go to System Preferences > Trackpad > Scroll & Zoom, and uncheck Scroll direction: Natural.

  • My firefox page is not connecting to network and also its not displaying the troubleshoot problems option?

    my firefox page is not connecting to network and also its not displaying the troubleshoot problem option?

    At the very least, I recommend you restart your router, (your internet box).
    More detail on your problem is needed - are you in a submarine? On the moon? On a tropical island?
    You can help yourself by providing as much info as you can about your present situation - what kind of router do you have? Have you moved it? DId you update it?  Did you do anything to change your setup, and if you did, what?

  • Some images do not display in browser, iPad Air 2.  When I load a page with several jpgs (one 1920x720, then 8-10 800x800px), only the first few are shown.  Behaviour is similar for Safari and Chrome. Website issue or iPad?

    I have just bought an iPad, partly to check that my websites work OK on mobile devices.   When I load a page with several jpgs (e.g. one 1920x720, then 8-10 800x800px), only the first few are shown.  If I remove the large one, that sometimes fixes the problem. Behaviour is similar for Safari and Chrome. Is this a website issue or iPad?

    Sorry, I didn't make myself clear.  I'm using a new Wordpress theme that is meant to be responsive.  The large image is for a header, than you scroll down to see the rest, one by one.  Some one the pages work OK on my iPad, typically the old ones where the maximum image size was 500 x 500.  It's the new pages and those I've updated that are causing the problem.  On the iPad the large image loads, then a couple of the small ones become visible as I scroll down, but then darkness (rather like my knowledge level).
    Being new to IOS and iPads, I'm trying to work out whether I should be looking here, or amongst the Wordpress stuff for a solution.
    Here's the website with its new theme: http://www.new-zealand-pictures.com/

  • On a Macbook Pro, I cannot print web pages with Firefox v 3.6.13. I can print if I use Safari, but no Firefox. Any ideas??

    When I try to print, it does not even appear to "connect" to the printer software. Normally, a printer icon will pop up in the taskbar, but this does not happen with Firefox. Also, in Mac, you have the option of saving the webpage as a pdf document. When I try it, it only results in a blank page. The Browser that comes with a Mac, Safari, works fine and prints. Not sure if it's a setting in Firefox or something else.

    Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4+ versions.
    You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    * browser.gesture.pinch.in -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReduce</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.out -> <b>cmd_fullZoomEnlarge</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> <b>false</b>
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
    *Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

  • All of a sudden I have problems printing web pages wwith Firefox 3.6.8 (XP), but printing pdf pages is still fine (printing with other software as well)

    Suddenly I can't print web pages with Firefox 3.6.8 anymore, but pdf pages pose no problem - the same applies to printing with any other software

    Thanks edmeister for your trouble!
    I guess I should have written that I had tried the tips on 'reset printer' and 'does not print to paper at all' before I posted the question - to no avail.
    The printer starts as normal: it's the right printer selected, the dialogue window shows the progress of sending the data to the printer - and after that: that's it. It simply vanishes from the queue, and nothing happens.

  • Printing web pages margins cut off

    When I print web pages with any of 3 printers, the left and right margins are cut off by about one letter. Using HP printers, Leopard. Doesn't occur with other programs such as mail, Word etc. Print options in Safari do not include margins. Any suggestions?

  • PDF printing of web-pages WITH background?

    How do I make it possible to have the background image/pattern/colour etc. of a web-page included when I "print" to PDF?
    Whenever I print a web page with something in the background other than white it's missing in the PDF file. This happens in my daily-use browser (Seamonkey), but also in Safari. However, in iCab (http://www.icab.de/) the background is included in the PDF file, so at least it's possible in MacOS. I just can't find any settings for it.

    Yes, this worked! Thanks!
    Another neat trick I found is that you can save the different settings. Just go to the "presets" part of the print menu, then save the current setting. For example by naming it "PDF printing with background".
    Then turn off the background colour/image/pattern and save it as a new preset (e.g. "Print (to paper)").
    That way you don't need to waste lots of ink, but at the same time you'll get the complete web-page with background and all when you save it as a PDF file. Just remember to select the right preset before you "print".

  • I am using Firefox 11 and I am unable to print web pages. I can print PDFs ok. I tried to open the prefs.js file to delete anything that starts with print and I get an error message.

    I cannot print web pages. I've tried the solutions suggested like deleting anything that starts with print in the prefs.js file but I get an error message: Script: c:\users\rick\appdata\roading\mozilla\firefox\profiles\iviwh5c1.default\prefs.js
    line: 1
    Char: 1
    Error: invalid character
    code: 800A03F6
    Source: Microsoft JScript compilation error

    When editing '''prefs.js''' you need to use a simple text editor program. WinXP Notepad messes up the line formatting of prefs.js, so I use Wordpad - but you need to save the edited file in a Text-Only format (Wordpad asks about that when you go to save the edited file). I never used Win7, so I don't know if that version of Notepad messes with the line formatting of prefs.js or not.
    Another thing - make sure '''''"Hide extensions for known file types"''''' is de-delected in Windows file / folder options > view -> advanced settings. Otherwise Windows may add a .txt file extension that you won't be able to see, and that will break that file in Firefox. '''prefs.js.txt''' won't be recognized by Firefox, when is expecting to find '''''prefs.js''''' .

    There were problems with IE9 on it's initial release and that may be what you are seeing if that is the browser (you did not indicate the browser and that may be a key). If you have a different browser you might try that one with the same pages to see if it browser related.
    By saying garbled it sounds like the fonts did not make it or you have selected "Use Local Fonts" in Acrobat. Try checking the latter first. Then check if the fonts are embedded in the PDF by checking the document properties (ctrl-D). If they are not, go back to the browser and select the press or print job options before printing and see if they get embedded and if your problem is resolved.

  • Reinstalled Acrobat Pro 8.1.6 won't let me print web pages to PDFs

    I'm really ticked at Adobe's "help" in updating the program only to cause a lot of misery.  I'd read Acrobat had a security update, and got a constant reminder from Adobe update to install the available update.  I've been using Acrobat Pro 8.1.6 with absolutely no problems printing web pages to PDFs.  I installed the 8.1.7 update which immediately disabled Acrobat completely.  So I wasted a lot of time uninstalling Acrobat and reinstalling sequential versions to get back to 8.1.6.  Now I can't print web pages to a PDF.
    I had NOT done anything else to installed programs in the meantime, except that probably Norton has automatically updated antivirus files in the background.  I don't have any problems using Acrobat to open and print an existing PDF, or to create new PDFs from my scanner.  I can do a hardcopy print of a webpage by selecting my Brother printer.  From Word 2002 and Excel 2002, I can create a PDF by "printing" to Acrobat as usual.   The only problem is creating a PDF by "printing" a webpage by selecting Acrobat as the device from the list of available printers.  This problem happens both with Firefox and with Internet Explorer 7.
    I have Windows XP Pro SP3.  I did the most recent Windows Tuesday security update several days before messing around with Acrobat and did not have any problems printing PDF files from Firefox or IE7.  So, it seems like it's clearly an Adobe Acrobat problem.  I get the small box saying "Preparing to Print" which goes nowhere and then I have to use the Task Manager to get out of the loop.  That closes Firefox, and when I reopen Firefox, the same webpage comes up.
