I would be very thankfull if this gets resolved. I have reported double printing errors with Opera many times, and no fix was ever offered. I like Opera (although many of it's nice features are now offered also in other browsers .. long live the browser war !!), but cannot use it on systems that need to use the printer.01micko wrote:Bummer!rcrsn51 wrote:What is it with Opera and printing? I bring up my newspaper, ask to print one page and get 12.
I do it in Firefox and get exactly the page I asked for.
I am going to try and get this fixed. Using opera allows flashplayer and the iso is still 2 meg smaller than the previous beta.
I had to do some gymnastics to get .pet mimetypes to work ootb in opera too. Last I looked Puppy was a top 10 distro, but Opera only supports deb, rpm and tgz/txz.
I will contact the Opera devs and see how far I can get.

QtWeb gets it right, but I'm a bit reluctant to try it out, I don't think it's ready for prime time. Throws a whole bunch of errors because of puppy's cut down gtk-themes. However it seems to render ok, plays flash fine, likely has no other plugins though.rcrsn51 wrote:You can demonstrate this yourself by printing pages from this forum.

But when you check Opera's Print Preview, the document is paginated correctly.
The solution for me was DON'T use the print Icons anywhere on the screen, tool bar or drop down menu from file at the top left. What does work is right click the mouse on the main screen of what you're printing, then a drop down menu shows up and then you select print.
