Blank. Nothing. (Yes, I do have ink in the printer! LOL). There seems

Any ideas out there?

Wendy,

SHEESH! I just viewed the page source. It seems instead of images,
they put descriptions of each square of the grid into the page one at
a time. That's why it won't print. Most of the time, all images are
listed in the page source under an "img" tag, so you view source
(Opera works better for this than Firefox) and then do a search for
any "img" tags. Once you find the right one, you can usually paste
the location into your brower and view it directly on its own page and
do whatever you need with it. This is useful when someone displays
the wrong picture and you need to see the one intended to be
displayed. But these aren't images!

The easiest way we found when you have something you can't capture or
print from the browser is to use your keyboard and an image handling
program. We like the free program Irfan. Above the
home/end/delete/page up/page down/insert buttons are 3 buttons to the
right of your F keys. They should be labeled PrtScn/SysRq, ScrLk, and
Pause Break. Center the image on your browser screen. Then, find the
PrtScn/SysRq button and press it once. Open your image handling
program. Use CTRL and V to paste the image into your software. Crop
it to the size you want and then do a save as or print as you desire.

If you don't have an image handling program but have a word processor,
you can paste it into a blank page, but cropping and resizing it will
be much harder. The Notepad word processing program that comes with
Win doesn't work. You can also paste it into the free Paint program
that comes with windows. Older versions only handle BMP images, but
saving an extra large image is better than not having it at all!

So his secret identity is secret no longer. I'm married to a
wonderful geek who taught me those tricks.

Gosh I feel stupid. I have no idea what you just asked me. LOL. I am
on Yahoo, if that's an answer. Ick. Sometimes I just hate
computers.

If there is someone in the group whose news server does carry binary groups
would offer to email them to you that would solve the problem.
