Screen prints can accomplish what you want, but it involves a cludge of a process. The problem is that you only get what is visible within the browser window. Thus, you must print, scroll, print some more, scroll some more, print some more, and so on. In this process, you must save each screen print into an image-processing application and then print it before scrolling to the next section of the Web page. If you have a truly advanced image-processing application, you might be able to stitch together the saved images and then print them all at once as a single large image. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> Paraphrasing Mark Twain, who was quoting someone else: There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and alternative truths. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
