Printing Admin Pages

Posted by roland180 on September 24, 2012 at 4:29pm

I am new to Drupal. I would like to print the list of modules that I have installed using my web browser's print functionality. However, when I attempt to print this long page only a portion of the page prints and the second page is blank... even though the print job should be much longer than two pages.

This is a screen capture of the modules page I would like to print:

These are the two pages that appear in my print of the entire page:

Any ideas on why only one page is printing? What can I do so that I can print admin pages that are longer than one page? This limited printing also occurs with other long admin pages such as the structure/blocks page. This problem isn't browser specific.

Thanks,
Roland

interesting. have you tried testing a print from outside of the overlay?

VM,

Thanks for the idea and workaround. By turning off the overlay module I am able to print all 9 pages now. Is it possible that this is a bug in the overlay module?

Best Wishes,
Roland

That would be my first guess. I don't use overlay so I've never seen it before. A search of the overlay issue queue may uncover something already reported and if not, feel free to file it as a bug.

VM,

I now see that a bug has been filed for this already. My previous searching didn't find this:

Thanks again for your help.
