Not Printer Friendly...

For a long time my dad's printer (HP Officejet G55) has had problems printing websites with alot of graphics.

I know that normally websites are more for viewing than printing, and that some websties offer printer-friendly versions of articles. But most of the time the information my dad prints are generally not printer friendly.........

I've tried contacting HP on ways to amend this so my dad wouldn't have to call me everytime he has this problem. I showed him alternate ways of printing the information he wants, but he feels uncomfortable using them.

Is getting a new printer the next route........?
 
If the web pages don't print correctly, the fault lies in the page designer's layout, and not the printer. My fiancee is a web designer, and it's one of the projects she has done....to find bad examples of page layouts that don't print well. Let's just say she found more bad than good.

That is what I have been trying to tell my dad........

Alot of the websites he tries to print from are cluttered with flash animation and java plugin, blocking the printer job, and when I try to delete the torblesome printer job, it would never properly be removed unless he has to reboot. That the best way I know of getting rid of the problem.

You've hit upon two very annoying problems:

1) Trying to print websites that are poorly designed.

2) Trying to get Windows to cancel a print job. Sometmies rebooting is the only method.
