Trying to print images from browsers

[kennya]

I am trying to suss why I cannot print a page from my company website at

http://www.old-maps.co.uk.

There is a facility there to view a historical map in a page which should be printable. In the office it prints to the LaserJet printer just lovely but at home when I try the exact same thing I get a printout with a red cross in the top left corner of where the image should be. The HTML shows that the image is in a table which in turn is in a form - should this cause problems? - any help would be gratefully received.

kennya,

In Internet Explorer, go to Tools>Internet Options, click the Advanced tab and make sure "show image download place- holders" is unchecked. Then check the Printing section and try checking the "print background colors and images" entry.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Place-holders was unchecked and I checked print background.. as suggested. The first print out actually had an image but whereas on screen it is a black and white image it printed out in orange/purple!! Is this just IE being crap?
Also any subsequent prints resulted in just the red cross being displayed as before.

Still confused! More help needed please!

Most likely, yes.
