Hi Julie I'm not too good at explaining things lol! If you're talking about Ancestry, then I click on their print icon. This brings up the print box with the options in. I've never managed to avoid printing the black edges (end up chopping off other stuff as well) so in the print options, I choose 'landscape' instead of portrait, and then change the print quality from 'normal' to 'fast draft' which saves loads of ink. Hope this makes sense, Mandy

I just highlight the bit I want, it asks me do I want all or - forget the word it uses but it means part, click print and it spits it out. What problem are you having?
