Re: [css-d] more Opera printing weirdness
Which version of the Mac Opera do you have? Anyone else have Opera 10.6 (on a
PC) that would test for me?

Not sure. The primary difference that I get when printing the page in
latest versions of Mac Firefox and Mac Opera is twofold:
1/ The page background color prints fuchsia in Opera [ you have not
killed my default background-color ].
2/ The content-text is a little smaller in Opera than in Firefox.
Try:
#maincontent p, li, td
{
/*font-size: 9pt!important;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica;*/
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font -size: 11pt;
}
Best,

It turns out that it is the background color in my non-print style sheet that
is creating the printing havoc (looks like a series of nested borders). If I
set the background-color to white in the print style sheet as David suggested
it prints fine. Does anyone know why this happens with Opera?

Re: [css-d] more Opera printing weirdness
Well I thought I got it to work with removing the background color, but it's
not. I was printing from multiple browsers and must have made a mistake on
which one worked. :-(

Since you seem to get different results than mine -- assuming we are both using the same procedure to print -- I regret that I do not know what the problem is on your end. Note, that I am using Mac Opera/10.6; and, that I am unable to test the same browser on my PC at the moment. However, I rather doubt there might be any significant difference between Mac and PC for print? Best, ~d PS Please bottom post and cc the list so others may contribute their thoughts...

It printed the a top and left border infinitely nested on the page! I don't have any borders on my web page, so no idea where it got this. And there was not content - just this border thing going on. Any ideas? Angela French Would you care to share the address to the new site in question?

Google Chrome, for some reason, refuses entirely to print the page... Can you be more specific? (Browser versions, OS, etc...) P.S. I am using print to PDF as I am not hooked up to a printer at the moment. This is usually accurate, though.
