[opensuse] Question re why part of a magazine article does not print
I printed out this article- https://au.pcmag.com/software/138/guide/the-best-vpn-services-of-2018 but the table at the beginning of the article won't print -- the printing begins with the Heading then skips the table of the various VPNs and continues from "VPNs Keep You Safe Online". I had to use the Firefox Add-on 'Screengrab' to save that table to a file and then printed that *.png file. Any thoughts as to why that table will not print as part of that article but has to be saved as a separate file in order to print it? (Using Leap 15.0 [with kernel 4.17.11-3], Firefox v 60.0.1esr, and the printer is Epson Expression Photo XP-960.)

Heck, the above is only a teeny-weeny problem when printing that article: I came across a nightmare when I actually looked at what I printed out (21 pages of it). Every printed page has the magazine's Header on it (the 'PC News Top 10 Opinions Features' etc) and this "overprints" the text of the article meaning that text on a following page is missing and does not follow-on from the text on the previous page :-(. Here is an example of what I mean: http://susepaste.org/53682742 Something is telling me that this is not how things are supposed to work and some application is either misbehaving or some setting(s) is/are not correctly set. Does anyone, please, have a solution to this problem? Thanks in advance.

PS I have tried writing the article to a *.pdf file but this does not solve the problem.
I don't have a solution. I can only confirm that the same happens if I try to print to a PDF. And it's not the only page that presents these non-printing elements. I try to save my bank and credit card statements as PDFs in the same way, or confirmation pages of payments. Since a year or so ago something changed and the only things that print are headers and titles, whilst all the actual values are missing. At first I thought it was my themeing and the amounts were printing in white against a white background, but no, even trying to make a selection or search the missing text within the file, it's clear there's nothing there. I also wondered if there is some page styling that explicitly allows for non-printing, in the same way that some sites can prohibit certain right-click actions. But I wouldn't have thought a website could override the system and there's no reason these elements should be hidden anyway, so it must be some kind of bug.

That's the Reader View mode icon. It's not expressly designed for printing. If it provides a better and more simplified printout that's rather more a side-effect. Its principle function is just to make the essential page text more readable and with some options for changing the fonts and backgrounds to aid with visual impairments. I don't know the criteria for how and when that appears and whether developers can disable it. Tip: it's less and less commonly the case, but occasionally you can use that mode to get around paywalls and show the hidden text otherwise withheld on the standard layout. Developers have cottoned on to that though so it doesn't work so often as it used to. To return to the topic, in my own examples, on the problematic pages such as those of my bank, there is sometimes a 'printable page' option provided by the website, but even then the same critical elements are missing. gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Y-E-S-S-S! THANK you, jdd, this did the trick! :-) I can now print the article. BUT, the Table at the beginning of the article does not print out. However, this is not a problem as I printed it out by capturing it first as a *.png file and printing that out. And then there is the way how Linda printed that first page (in Landscape mode). But not I have another small 'hassle' :-(: I don't know where the size of the font comes from but the font used during printing is quite large -- almost double the size of the font seen in this post -- and I need to make it smaller to use less paper when printing that article.

Yes, as Linda suggested, but even before posting my question here I had already printed it out by first saving that Table/graphic as a *.png file and then printing it out.

In those cases, I copy-paste to LibreOffice writer, and change things at will. Two possibilities: paste with all formats (well, what LO thinks of them) or paste as plain text, and you do the entire formatting. Another alternative is to paste with format but avoiding boxes and frames. In this case, if you use the "reader view toggle" it is much easier. I did it in an instant, will email it to you (or to anybody that wants it, offline). It still needs adjusting of the figures at the list of vpns parts, I leave that to you. There is an option to remove links in the text, replacing them with the content. Used to replace http images with their content, so that the document doesn't depend on external sources. I do not see the option this time or it is greyed out. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

SOLVED! re the size of font. I posted the above in a hurry, in a hurry to repond to my wife's call to stop fooling around on the computer and to come and watch a movie on the TV :-) and therefore didn't get the chance to do some exploring re the options one gets when that icon-thingie is activated. Well, I was able to do this just a short time ago and found that the option is there, staring me in the face and is located in that menu on the left-hand in that narrow column. Not only can one change the size of the font but also the width of the printed text (by adjusting the '><'). And so, thanks once again jdd for telling me/us about that lill book-looking icon in the URL field of FF.

Your tip for using a screen grab could be handy. I'd have thought the new built-in screenshot tool in the latest Firefox could do the job?
I didn't know about the screengrab option in FF so thanks for pointing it out. However, there is no way that I would use it as (from what I saw) it requires that I have to create a 'Firefox account'. I always use either Screengrab!, a FF Add-on, or Spectacle, which is part of openSUSE. I did use Screengrab to capture that article but the only sensible way to do it with Screengrab would be to capture one page per 'grab' in order to print one page of text without that "PC mag." header.

I wasn't aware that the FF screenshot tool was linked to having an account.

Which is why I use the FF's Add-on 'Screengrab!' and have been for years. And unlike that screegrab tool in FF itself, Screengrab! does not save the 'grab' somewhere in The Cloud but saves it to a directory on your system over which you have total control :-).

Under the default FF ESR version in Leap 42.3 (currently 60.1.0) when you use the built-in FF 'Take a screenshot', there is no cloud interaction, it only provides a copy or download option, saying that's the only choice in the ESR version. Same applies if you're in Private Browsing mode, if 'Never Remember History' is checked, or if uploads are disabled. It just goes straight into my Downloads folder. gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Does anyone, please, have a solution to this problem?
If it's a recurring problem on an important site, it may justify the herculean amount of work involved. Those fixed elements that hide things can be restyled as hidden or elsewhere using the very CSS that causes the trouble in the first place. Applying style "display: none !important" is sometimes all it takes, other than figuring out what class(es) or id(s) to apply it to. Tools to figure out which are included in modern browsers, but they're anything but easy to figure out how to use. One of the CSS modification extensions might help. I've not tried any of them. xStyle and Stylus are two names I know of that aren't spyware (like Stylish). First thing to try when really important is contact the host and beg for a print stylesheet that limits printing to only page portions that justify the waste of trees, preferably in person with some disastrous printed pages. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.

Sorry. I'm a little late to the party. Whenever I encounter a web-page difficult to print (or if I just need to get rid of a lot of stuff on it) I use The Printliminator. It's a bookmarklet and/or an extension for opera and chrome. FF is said to be in development. https://css-tricks.github.io/The-Printliminator/ https://github.com/CSS-Tricks/The-Printliminator The extension gets you a little bit further than the bookmarklet.

Of the many websites I have visited in the past couple of years or so, I have found only one (1) site which had no errors in the coding (I check sites using 'http://validator.w3.org/'). Almost all sites are coded by script-kiddies and who charge like wounded bulls for their work (I have asked a few people with crap-coded sites how much they paid for the "job"). One of the sites belongs to one of our biggest retail franchise outlets in Australia (I actually corresponded personally with the managing director re this but even after some 18 months or so the site hasn't been amended [219 Errors and Warnings :-(].)

Weellll, kinda a broad statement in one way but, yes, a screen capture program will work (and did). One screen capture program which is MOST disappointing is the one in Leap called _Spectacle_. Unlike 'Screengrab!., an Add-on in Firefox, Spectacle will only capture a current screen (or a selected area). If an article goes over more than one screen-full, Spectacle is useless but Screengrab! will capture the complete article no matter how many pages in may be in length. If Screengrab can do it why can't Spectacle do same? BC -- There comes a time in the affairs of a man when he has to take the bull by the tail and face the situation.

Now, I know nothing about how these things work but it seems to me that a screengrab program must look for some marker which "tells" it where the 'screen' to capture begins and where it ends. Right? Or put another way, the program looks for the marker showing the beginning of a "file" (SOF) and the end of file (EOF) and captures what is between the SOF and the EOF. To me, something tells Spectacle to consider the EOF to be the last pixel of the displayed screen, while Screengrab! actually looks for the EOF of, say, an article when one selects the 'Complete Page' option. And to me, the description of what each of the "Capture Mode" (here: https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kdegraphics/spectacle/using.html#idm46336202... ) means may just as well been been written in Aramaic :-).

in fact, AFAIK,the screen capture utility works like any monitor, it sees the content of the screen buffer, a memory region where all what have to be displayed by any application is written. It's related to the Xorg server, not any application
And to me, the description of what each of the "Capture Mode" (here: https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kdegraphics/spectacle/using.html#idm46336202... ) means may just as well been been written in Aramaic :-).
I challenge that. You are reading this list for so many years I feel you are a friend :-) Spectacle ask Xorg (or kde) where the screen (or windows) buffer is and copy the content. It do not even know it's an image, it's just a bunch of bytes :-). At a second time it write the content as png or jpg file and the problem for browser/text copy is there: spectacle knows nothing about text, so for example enlarging part or the image will give ugly text, reading text meaning have to be done by text recognition package... on the contrary, any Firefox plugin asks *firefox* for the data and so knows if it's image, video, text, whatsoever... jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

No, Spectacle does not look for the end. It only sees what is displayed in the display, nothing more. It simply reads the graphic card memory, or the X representation of the same.

I am trying hard to understand this, but surely the complete "page" is stored in the gpu memory or the X representation of it, as you put it, because the invisible part, which is not visible on the screen, is instantly displayed when you either hit the 'down' key or use the scroll wheel on the mouse?

Nope. The application may have the invisible part of the page prepared or even rendered, but the image memory doesn't know anything about that.
What is beyond the display is only known to each application. Spectacle does not have permission to read each application own memory,
Then give it "permission" to do so.
Can't. Huge security hole. Plus spectacle would have to be programmed to know internals of every application that paints the screen. There would be then a list of supported apps and not. And then supported versions and sub-versions. Huge programming job. Hundreds of people needed, for ages. Any modification in any of the supported applications, and spectacle would have to be re-compiled and possibly re-designed.
even if it knew how to interpret it.

The current screen is exactly and only what is displayed by the current monitor. Plain simple. I don't understand what you don't understand :-? If there are more monitors, then the Full Screen is all of them, joined. As if a single huge monitor of the appropriate shape was used instead. Active Window, the Thunderbird window frame where you are reading this. You click on another window, that becomes the active window. If you move the mouse to another window but don't click on it, that is the window under cursor. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

It is a new feature. Previously the entire FF could crash. Now it calls child processes, and a child can crash instead, not bringing the entire thing down. So now a single tab (or more) can crash and be replaced with a text saying something about the crash and they are sorry. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

You speak in riddles :-). What "tab" crashes?
Nothing "crashes" here, but then I don't know what you mean by "tab". The firefox tab where the page was displayed. FF posted a notice regretting that the tab had crashed (previously the entire FF would crash).
I clicked on File/print preview, and the page crashed. Made FF to crash the tab.
Hmm, I think I understand what your are saying but I don't have, and never had, this problem: nothing 'crashes' here (and I am now even using FF v62.0beta).

I took another look at this, and the text is corrupted by some kind of "share" thing for what looks like symbols for facebook, twitter, and a couple of things I don't recognize. And since I
won't ever use any of these "social" apps, I can't share with any of them, and it makes the text difficult to read. If you subscribe to PC Mag, you should write to them and complain!
Thanks, Doug. Writing to such organisations such as PC mag. et al is a waste of time. Of what value would it be to write to an organisation which produces a magazine concerning computers but has at least 49 coding Errors and Warnings, including one FATAL ERROR after which the check of the coding terminates and cannot proceed? As you would have read by now, the cat has been skinned following what jdd wrote :-), and I thank you for your help with my (now non-existent) problem.

Yep, thanks, Linda, did that and it does the trick. But even better is to capture the Table/graphic as a *.png file and print the file thus avoiding the Header of the article. By now you would have read what jdd wrote which solved the problem -- which was quite fortuitous because I found a follow-up article giving instructions on how to actually install/set-up the s/ware for a VPN service (https://au.pcmag.com/nordvpn/52130/feature/how-to-set-up-and-use-a-vpn).

I had to use the Firefox Add-on 'Screengrab' to save that table to a file and then printed that *.png file.
Any thoughts as to why that table will not print as part of that article but has to be saved as a separate file in order to print it?
(Using Leap 15.0 [with kernel 4.17.11-3], Firefox v 60.0.1esr, and the printer is Epson Expression Photo XP-960.)
I know that this problem of mine has been resolved but you may be interested to know that there is an Add-on for Firefox which appears to "work" on all web pages and not just on certain pages as the built-in page editor in Firefox Quantum (60.1.0esr now in Leap 15.0). Many Thanks to Linda Walsh who mentioned to me that there is the Add-on called PRINT EDIT WE. I have installed it and it "works" on sites such as- https://www.globalresearch.ca/ on which the built-in editor in FF Quantum is ineffective. FYI.
