In firefox and safari, when I print a webpage it conjures up a text-only version to use. This is nice for removing ads, but it's not nice because it also removes the actual pictures that are the content of the page. I can't find any preference to make it just print normally, the dumb way. How do I print the dumb way?

Please help. Thanks in advance

My safari prints pictures. Wonder why you're seeing different behavior.

Is this constant over all websites? Or is it just the one that you’re currently trying to print from?

If it’s just the one, it could be that the website’s style sheets declares all images as display: none; for the print media, which would make them non-printable.

If that’s the case, I think you’d actually have to save the page as a web folder (or whatever it is Safari calls it) and then remove the CSS that does this—easiest way would probably be to just remove the line where the print media CSS file is being included.


If it’s something that happens across all sites … I’m no wiser than AKcrab.

Hmm, google maps still prints images. I'll look for that CSS thing.
