Re: Printing problems

Hey Graham! What is the link to the song?  Is it this one?  http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.g … 70230.html
I'm not seeing an issue with it on my end.

Mozilla Firefox renders the print using your printer software directly.  So to see a preview and verify everything before printing, you'd need to choose "print preview" somewhere within your print software.  You'll notice your printer dialog box pops up when you try printing.  Is it possible something is checked that shouldn't be here?  However, if you try using Chrome or Microsoft Edge, you should be able to see the print preview right inside the browser itself.  I find the browser rendering seems to look and work better using these browsers, despite the fact that I like to visit Chordie with Mozilla Firefox more.

Let me know what you're using, verify that's the song, and we'll go from there!  smile

Hmmmmm... weird!

When you are using Internet Explorer 11, and go to print, you should see the print dialog pop up.  It should look something like this:

Up at the top, of course you'll want to make sure your printer is selected.  Down in Page Range, make sure ALL is selected.  It almost sounds to me like instead, you might have something different as the default.  Such as the Current Page or just Pages and the number 2.  So check for that.

Also, if you click on Preferences, it will open up your printer software.  This will be different for everyone depending on what brand and model of printer you're using.  Somewhere in there, you should be able to choose the option to "print preview".  Then click ok, and be brought back to this screen.  Now when you click print, you'll get a preview first and can verify that both pages will print.

If looking through this doesn't fix it for you, let me know the make and model of your printer (for example mine is a brother mfc-j285w as you can see here) and I can look into the various settings for you and see if I can find if there's maybe something set as a default in your software causing the issue.  It's odd though, if it's only happening when printing from Chordie. 

For the sake of making sure I've got all your info correctly, can you also do this for me?

In the NAME field you can just enter Graham or Grah1 - when I get the email I'll know what this is about, even though it'll say the subject is related to songbook, don't worry about that.  Also enter your email address in the appropriate field.  Maybe we'll work on this via email instead of on the site, though, it can be helpful for others to see the results here in the event they are having similar issues! smile 

Looking forward to helping to get this straightened out for you!  smile
