I am web developer, and looking for a script to fix this issue (testing in FireFox at the moment). Is there without downloading third party software, to print ALL content of a web page? If I simple go to File -> Print, it will not print some text, text areas, buttons, etc.

this may not be a accurate answer but, i used google chrome and espon printer/scanner/copier/SDcardreader to test what you were explaining. the results in a print preview showed only text. images, and anything else that was able to be printed. the reason why the printer won't print certain areas is because it can't print out sources, codes, or anything else that can only be read in the computer or internet.

here's what i did with google chrome: clicked on the wrench, clicked on print..., selected the printer to use and other options, looked at the print preview, and it only showed text and images, that weren't in complitacd source and codes.

You need to use a web editor that has the printer options to print everything if that's what you want including the background image. Printing from some browsers will not pick up some of the content depending on the container they are in. Always check first by using the Print Preview. Hope you are using a print only CSS file where you have control over what is printed.

A print show screen is saving each and every little bit of information that makes up what you're seeing on your show screen at that very 2nd. the image is great, exact, and consequently significant in length. a internet internet site in many situations includes strings of textual content that codify the format and words, besides through fact the positions of imagery that in many situations comprise lots smaller, lots decrease-high quality information that don't almost degree as much as the complexity of the quantity of code required for a complete print show screen image.
