Question: I tried to print from my browser window or by right mouse clicking and all I got was a black box or my data was not clear. What happened?
Answer:

Printing from the browser window does not always work and is not recommended. On many screens, such as Detail View and Browse All, there is a Printer Friendly link in the upper right-hand corner of the page. Click on this link for the proper printing format. When you click Printer Friendly, a new browser window will open with the image(s) and media information.

All printing should be done using either the Printer Friendly link in the upper right-hand corner of the page (if available) or by right mouse clicking anywhere on the page and selecting Print from the drop down menu.
