Ruel, I am unable to print the text in your WebTV Net Page. Even after selecting it (highlighting it), it does not print. Some of the text and graphics of the side bar, including the web counter, do print. But not the text of your web page. I am disappointed.
Agh!? You are a computer user and you can't print the WebTV Net Page? If you are calling in using a computer with Netscape or Microsoft Explorer, then you can! I took a closer look at the headers of the email message sent by the above-unnamed person, and sure enough he was using Netscape. What I suggested to above-unnamed person was to send himself an email version of the document using Netscape: Just do File, Mail Document. Type in your email address to yourself, but be sure to press the Attachment button and convert to plain text. That will do the trick because the text itself on the web page is white text on a black background. With regular printing, you can't print white text on a white piece of paper. In the alternative, since this person was using a computer with Windows, you can highlight the text (he did mention highlighting the text) and doing a cut and paste. Just highlight the text, copy, and paste to a text file in Notepad or a similar program and then print. So, if you're calling in using a computer, don't be "disappointed" if you are trying to print the Set-Top Net Page. You just have to try a work-around if you really, really want to print the text.

FOR WEBTV VIEWERS
ASKING GENERAL QUESTIONS
ABOUT PRINTING:
WebTV Classic: PRINTER ADAPTERS? WHERE ARE THE PRINTER ADAPTERS? First, I'm told that the printer adapters are NO LONGER MADE. And then I'm told that people have been hoarding the printer adapters in warehouses somewhere in North America. CLICK HERE IF YOU NEED TO GET A PHILIPS-MAGNAVOX WEBTV CLASSIC PRINTER ADAPTER BEFORE THEY ARE GONE. If you need a Sony WebTV Classic Printer Adapter, visit the Fry's Electronics warehouse stores to see if Frys still has any of the Sony adapters.
WebTV Plus: If you have a WebTV Plus, you already have the printer port built into the WebTV Plus and do NOT need the printer adapter.
WebTV Viewers Only: Go to the WebTV Help Center for information about printing. Also go to USING WEBTV on your WebTV Home screen and pick PRINTING to find out more about printing.
