Hello All,

When I try to print the event calendar in IE, the calendar is smashed to the left of the paper. This calendar prints fine in firefox. Is there anything I can do about this?

Thanks

That sounds like a CSS problem with your skin or container. I just checked printing with the default DNN-Blue skin and the Default Events theme, and didn't see a problem. Do you use your browser's print function, or do you have one of the Print skin objects that use a special skin for printing?

I just use the built in dnn feature "allow print" for that module. When the icon is clicked the popup windows displays correctly then when you click on the IE print icon the print out looks smashed to the left. It even shows this way when you go to print preview.

I'm not quite sure if I understand correctly  what you mean with "smashed". Could you provide a screenshot? I printed an Events module in month view, using DNN-Blue Fixed Width skin and Events Default theme, and I don't see a basic difference between the print results of IE7 and FF2.

It's true that the calendar width in the DNN print popup window is not stretched to 100%, but gets compressed to the bare minimum (in IE a bit more than in FF). AFA I see, that happens to all module content when printing, because the DNN print view uses a special "no container" container. I admit that this can look a bit strange when the calendar is empty (or nearly empty), but I get this in Firefox as well as in IE, so I don't thik that this is your problem. If the DNN print popup looks okay in your IE, but the print result doesn't, I'd rather suspect a problem within IE. What IE version do you use?

I was experiencing the same problem.  The calendar looked fine on the screen when the user click the print option (as brought up by the "allow print" option on the module settings), but when actually printed it was "smashed" or collapsed.  Here is the calendar on the web: http://www.socialjusticecenter.org/ConferenceRoom/tabid/159/Default.aspx - down near the bottom of the page.  But when printed it looked like this from IE7: http://www.socialjusticecenter.org/Portals/5/File0031.pdf.  

Michael, you're right, if it looks fine on the screen, but prints incorrectly it would seem to be an IE problem not the CSS.  It took a trick to fix that I don't care for, but if you add to the module.css in the events module (or any of the CSS docs really) it corrected my issue:

#Table1
{
 Width:100%;
}

Hope that helps to all those in need...
