Hello Folks...

Especially Russel, Pete and Jim for their quick response and general help, warmth and encouragement in trying to solve my "printing problem"...and making me feel welcome (I feel at home already...and this is the first forum I've ever been in)

The problem has now been solved, after burning the midnight oil last night and heading that way again tonight. And I am a wee bit humiliated to tell you where the problem/solution was.

The initial problem was words were being printed. But no chords.

Both ink levels were showing FULL on computer. But when I checked the colour catridge it appeared empty...I changed it over.... and guess what.....chords appeared on print-out !!

(The reason it worked ok on the other sight mentioned was because all the print was in black)

Thank you all again for your help and quick response...and making me feel comfortable on the forum.

Next time I'm on I will come under "C(p)luckinon"......(Good one Jim)...And it covers my two interests....keeping chickens..... and pretending I can play the guitar)

Totally new to your website. But great site and it seems, a very friendly and helpful forum.

However, I sometimes feel just a wee bit too old (68 yrs) to find my way at times, around a guitar fret board, as well as  finding my way around a computer. But I generally just about get by in both cases, as a "plodding amateur"..as long as I am well out of sight and sound of others.

Singing a few songs and playing a few chords is strictly for my ears only.....But with a bit more focus (and practice), who knows what the future holds. Plus as I get older and I am told getting a bit deafer.......it will all sound better to me anyway..... if not others.

To the question...I am managing to find the songs I am looking for. And also managing to transpose them as per instruction (great feature on the website). However, when I click on the icon at the side to print page...the final printed page shows all the lyrics, but no chords at all above the words......although these are in view along each line before printing.

My printer is working fine, because when I tried to print few songs from"www.traditionalmusic.co.uk" the lyrics and chords, viewed on screen, transferred to the printed page just fine.

Sorry about bletheriing on so much. But help would be appreciated.

This is the first forum or website I have ever become a member of. (As the name implies, CLUCKINON, I keep hens.....so I am off now to tell the hens what I have been up to !!! ....I tried practising my guitar in the henhoose, but it put them off their lay)
