Post by Accrete »

This isn't new. I have done this for years! Evidently some don't do this and it is really frustrating. :cry:

Please check your email templates too. Having to print out tickets or receipts for accounting purposes can waste a lot of paper and ink. ;)

Will you please send this link to the Sams Mastercard people! Seriously some business websites waste 12 sheets of paper and toner to print a simple receipts.

Until they get the message a working solution that works most of the time is to highlight the text and use print selection.
