Sustrans website - ? unprintable maps ?

Paul Luton said:

This may be me having put a silly setting somewhere but when I look at
cycle routes on Sustrans.org.uk I see them fine on the screen but only the
banner heading and key actually print out. Outlook Express (but not
Mozilla) allows me to save the image and then print out the GIF. Has anyone
found and solved this problem ?

If you look at the source, you'll see that it uses a particular CSS file
for print media ( http://www.sustrans.org.uk/css/print.css )

If you look at that file, you'll see that it specifies display: none for
the map div. In other words, it's not printing out they don't want you
to print it out, and your browser is honouring their wishes.

With Opera, I can specify my own style for pages. You can probably do
something similar with Mozilla.

Have you tried right clicking on the image then saving it?

I believe that this crippling of the print facility is a licence issue from
the OS - simplest solution is a "Prt Scrn" and then Paste to Word as an
image,crop out the [censored] and then print.

I was able to print it out in Mozilla Firefox by right clicking the map,
selecting View Image and then printing the page that came up. Printing
the page directly gave all the page without the map.

Ditto using "save image" so only got map.

Thanks all - I clearly need to upgrade.
