Duh, never thought to look at this before now.(SP2)


While in 'Your Account' clicking the "Print Page" button at the top of an invoice literally prints the browser page - and it's too wide for the paper so the right edge is cut off, along with the number column.



The same thing happens after the checkout page.



Y'know, a "Print Invoice/receipt" instruction makes more sense here, right? Can I just get the invoice to print?



Has this been fixed in SP3?

You need to create a print stylesheet for your theme to hide the things you don't want to print and style the things you do. Use points for font sizes and percentages for most widths.

Ughhhh. .....Gotta hit the books - again. I've never gone to a site, bought something and printed a screen shot in order to get a printed order confirmation.
Is there a way to click that 'print' button and grab the admin's 'print invoice'?

No, you don't want to grab a separate page to print, since all the info you need is right there. The admin invoice uses a print stylesheet, so you may be able to use that as a reference (but probably not). But it's pretty easy if you've worked with your own stylesheet before, just make sure to use media="print" to tell the browser to use that stylesheet for printing, like this:
Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" type"text/css" href="print.css" media="print" />


You could even use your current stylesheet without messing with any other pages by using @media, for example:
Code:
@media print {
#Header, #Footer { display: none; }
}


Just put the print-specific rules in there, or even import a separate print stylesheet using your main screen stylesheet, like this:
Code:
@import url(print.css) print


I haven't tested any of this in BV yet, but they should work as long as nothing is interfering.
