| We are using our lap top at this location and somehow I messed up and DH can't figure out how to fix it. Problem is when I attempt to copy crossword puzzles etc from our home newspaper the grid prints as it should but none of the clues or numbers in the grid are legible. I have no idea what I did but it is not the printer as anything else will print as it should. DH thinks it must be something within the computer.
Hope some one can offer a solution as we miss working our puzzles. |

| Well if we had the web address of the paper in question we might look to see if there is something amiss - or how you are doing it when things work alright. |
|
| Sorry, I don't know much about this, I rely on DH to help me out of jams but he cannot fix this. Web address of paper is: ArkansasOnline.com |
|
| If the puzzle looks correct on the website try cntl + P keys together when you bring it up...see how that prints..mine prints ok here |

| Right-clicking that crossword and selecting "View Image"(in Firefox, not sure about IE) gets me to this: http://showtime.arkansasonline.com/e/img/comics/0810/universalxw.jpg I doubt that will help you with your print problem but may give you something less cluttered to print once you do get printing properly. |

| How about trying another site that offers the New York Times Crossword and see if it will print for you. The Seattle Times also offers the New York Times Crossword by Will Shortz, the same fellow who does them on your Arkansas paper. On the Seattle Times page, click on the printer icon. On the next "page" select "puzzle with blank diagram" (it may already be selected). Click "OK" The puzzle should appear. Click on the printer icon. If the puzzle doesn't appear, then you probably don't have a PDF viewer installed on your computer. It's worth a try, however, especially if it works for you. Let us know. |

| If genes or chuggerguy's ideas are no help try this. Bring up your crossword |
|
| genes, that did not change the outcome. Am printing all responses and will give them to DH & will see what he can do with these suggestions. If this fails we will have to call someone to fix this. Thanks, all of you. d |
|
| If this just happened in past couple days, you probably can use windows built in system restore, and choose a date when it worked ok. Probably too easy to fix things with a restore point when we first see a problem, so for some reason we don't think about that. |
|
| DH has tried all the above suggestions and still cannot get a legible copy of the puzzles. Tomorrow we will be off to have it checked out. d |
