How to print a web page exactly how you see it


Sometimes when you want to print a web page from online you can run into a problem: it doesn't print exactly as it looks. An easy way to fix this is by changing a setting when you print. Just follow the steps below:

Steps


  1. Go to the page you want to print
  2. Go to the "FIle" button of your browser (located on the top left corner)
    • You will see several options on the drop down menu
  3. Click on "Print Preview"
    • You will now see a preview of how the page will look when printed
  4. Click on the button that says "Page Setup" (in some browsers it might look like a clock gear symbol, but if you scroll over it, it should say what it is)
    • This will open a window with several print options.
  5. Check the box that says: "Print Background Colors and Images"
  6. Close the window and see the preview change.
  7. Now you are ready to print.*
