Printing web pages in Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for the update and apologies for late response.

• Are you able to print via Internet Explorer 11?
• What kind of contents and extensions do you want to print?

I suggest you to perform the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps:

Method 1: I suggest you to follow the steps below to print documents in the Windows 10 Edge browser and check if it helps:

• 
  Once the document is open in Edge, press
  Ctrl+P or More actions button at the top last end of the browser.
  
• 
  Click Print as PDF button.
  
• 
  Check if the document prints as expected.
  

If the above steps did not work, try the next methods.

Method 2: Set your printer as default.

• 
  Press Windows key and type
  Control Panel.
  
• 
  Click on view by and select large icons.
  
• 
  Open Devices and printers.
  
• 
  Right click on your printer and select set a default printer.
  

Check if it helps. Please keep us posted on the issue. We will be happy to assist you accordingly.

 

How to get a Full page print out?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand that you want to get a full page print out. However, in order to help you in a better way, reply with the details requested below:

• What is the make and model of the printer?
  
• Which application are you using to print?
  
• Which build version of Windows are you using? To check type: winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit Enter.
  

Ideally, we need to make changes to the margin of the page that we need to print, to get a full page print out.



We would suggest you to try changing the margin settings and check if that helps. You can go to the Printing Preferences and look for the Page Layout option, from there you should get the option to change the margins, try setting it to zero and see
the results.



If your printer supports Borderless Printing, then you may want to check the Advanced Printer settings. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type control printers and click on
   OK.
   
3. Now, right click on the Printer and select
   Printing preferences.
   
4. Click on Advanced and check the option
   Borderless Printing.
   

Let us know the results.

Windows printer test page

Hi Knapier, welcome to Ten Forums!

If you are talking about Windows printer test page, you could try an alternative one from Print a Test Page. Your printer may also come with some cleaning diagnostic utilities which may include some test pages too.

A Windows test page sole purpose is to list all information directly related to how Windows communicates with your printer. This means driver listings, the printer model and available printing styles. It is not used for testing the alignment and color etc... This is what the printer utilities are for.
