Hi,

I have tried to print the DVD-lab Guide, but I have been unable to do so after several attempts. While on the DVD-lab guide site the URL reads http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/dv/guide.html, although, this will not take you to the DVD-lab guide, but instead to the DV to DVD guide (this seems weird too). Use "DVD-lab" link on the DVD Authoring Guides to get to the DVD-lab guide.

Today I had a friend try and print the guide, but their results were the same. Only one page will print. In fact the printed page states that it is 1 of 2 pages. The guide obviously has many more pages.

I have printed a half dozen other guides from the site without problems. I would really like to be able to pring this guide. I hope that someone will/can take the time to correct this issue.

Kind Regards,

Corndog

Use "DVD-lab" link on the DVD Authoring Guides to get to the DVD-lab guide. Perhaps I misunderstood you, but you are saying that a link from an external site (DVD-Lab) sends you to a wrong guide? The guide is at http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/mpg/dvd-lab.htm, btw.

Today I had a friend try and print the guide, but their results were the same. Only one page will print. In fact the printed page states that it is 1 of 2 pages. The guide obviously has many more pages. Try again after flushing the cache. It printed just fine for me (all - in my case - 19 pages). This was using Firefox using the "print active frame" option.

Regards,
Steve

I had already purged the cache before posting the issue. I still am unable to print the guide, but have print a 1/2 dozen others from the site, so not sure what the problem is. My friend still is unable to print the guide. I got another friend to try and print it, and it worked. I went and picked-up the printed material.

All of what I previously descibed, in my initial post, happened on this site; not an external site. The link http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/dv/guide.html is what shows in the URL address window in Firefox when I am veiwing the DVD-lab guide on this site. I used the link that you provided, but still only able to print one page. At the bottom of that page it states 1 of 2.

Glad it worked out somehow at a friend's place, I was about to send you a pdf :). OK, I misunderstood you because of While on the DVD-lab guide site the URL reads http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/dv/guide.htmlTo get back to the issue: what's the base url you are using? I use www.doom9.org and during navigation in the guides section, that URL never changes in the address bar of Firefox. Only if I right-click to "open in a new tab", I get a URL display change (to e.g. http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/mpg/dvd-lab.htm). Same thing for doom9.net, btw.

As to what's causing the browser to fail printing the page properly, I wouldn't have a clue ...
