Hello there. What do you need help with? You can answer here, I'll watch your page. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 19:51, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

{{helpme}} I very much want to print your article on chess but the two times I've tried to do so, most of the images won't print. I believe the images in question are also links to other pages. I've tried to copy the images to NotePad so I could print them separately but nothing I've tried has worked. What else can I do??

Hmm. Not really sure, as I don't know if it's your hardware (printer) having the problem or not. Try copying the text into a word document or similar and printing it from there maybe? I guess I'm at a bit of a loss. I'll readd the "help" template to see if someone else stops by with a better idea. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 20:01, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Are you printing it from the printable version ? –xenocidic (talk) 20:04, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried copying the article to MS Word and when I do that, the images don't appear at all. If it would help you to know what pictures I'm talking about, one example would be the "Starting Position." This is the best explanation of the rules for chess I've found so I really hope we can figure this out. Thanks for your help!

Try the link above from Xenocidic. I went to the article, and when I hit print preview, it shows that it will print with pictures, so I 'm thinking it may be a problem with your hardware. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 20:10, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I went to the printable version, and printed the 2nd page, and the positions are showing up fine. This was using Mozilla Firefox. –xenocidic (talk) 20:12, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for mentioning Firefox, as I was about to suggest trying a different browser and seeing if that worked. UltraExactZZ ^Claims~ Evidence 20:14, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it's the diagram. Lyzyrd, try printing it from our image bank called "Commons". Get to it by clicking right here. It won't have the text, but maybe you can print the diagram and the text separately? Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 20:16, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem at all! Firefox for the win! Feel free to blank your talk page if you'd rather not have all this, or more preferrably, you could also copy it all to User talk:Lyzrd/Archive 1. –xenocidic (talk) 20:29, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
