I can print it by clicking the icon in the acrobat or browser toolbar, so it just works fine.<!--content-->Tested print preview of the wepage <br />
<br />
Works for me using <br />
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021228 Phoenix/0.5<br />
<br />
Does not work (empty page) in IE/Win 6.01 (didn't try to actually print).<br />
<br />
Opera 7b2 also seems to botch it up (but at least shows the normal webpage).<br />
O 6.05 thinks it's a frames page ?!?! But it also shows at least the webpage.<!--content-->So what are we saying here, that I should give up trying to make "<link href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"2003-01-05.pdf" media="Print" rel="Alternate" type="application/pdf"> work?<!--content-->Originally posted by Charles <br />

Perhaps not give up... but definitly start writing bugrapports.<br />
<br />
Opera 7 is still during beta so it might get fixed before final and IE, well you need to leave that manual "print version" link for a few more years anyway I guess, but making a bugraport might get this fixed for IE 7(?)<br />
<br />
<br />
Ooops,update:<br />
As it turns out Gecko isn't really showing the pdf either, just a different looking version of the webpage with colors.<br />
Guess that's 1 more bugraport to write :(<!--content-->Here is that bug in Gecko BTW.<br />

Thanks for your help though.<!--content-->I gave up my dreams about Micro$oft practicing what it preaches seen as though it's a W3C member, years ago. I am waiting to see if the bring out .CSS.<!--content-->
