Phantom Title

Doc	Phantom Title With the new black bar setup, I've noticed that printouts of posts don't contain the title that shows on the screen. I copy a lot of this valuable information for future reference, but it's tough when the subject title doesn't appear at the top of the page. Is this "phantom title" a possible printer/driver problem on my end, or is it controlled by the website?

Actually the bar is dark green Doc, but it could appear as black if your display is set for less than hi-color mode.

The printing problem is a browser thing.

It seems like every new version of every browser I've tried in the past has had a different set of annoying problems with printing. Recently I tried printing some of the BBS posts using Netscape 4, and was surprized to find that it actually worked as it should.

It's been quite a while since I tried a new version of Microsoft Explorer, so could some of the other Explorer users give Doc a hand here? Is anyone able to print these pages successfully? Are there printing preference settings that need to be changed? Speak up!

John Greene	I'm using the latest version of Internet Explorer and just tried printing your post and it worked just fine for me. The title bar prints as a white box and the text is grey in color. The up arrow and Email address print green. (I'm using a Deskjet 560C). --johng

Tom Deering	Prints just fine with aol's IE 4.0 (colors are haywire, but that might be something on my end) Tom

Thanks to all for their help. My hookup is at work, through a large network. The browser is Microsoft Explorer version 3.2. I view this on a color monitor (set to 256 color), but print in b&w.

The two printers in my area are a HP 5SiNX and a HP 4MV (Laserjets). After reading these posts, which indicated that the title was indeed printable, I printed the same message on both printers. The title appeared on the 4MV print, but not on the 5Si which I usually print to for its graphics capability. I guess it's a printer-driver problem on my end. I'll just print to the 4MV for copying these messages.
