Occasionally, certain printers/printer drivers seem to have trouble printing from eMedia titles. There is a workaround in which the screens are not printed directly from our products, instead they are copied/pasted into a word processor and printed from there. The steps are as follows:
- Load up the eMedia application and go to the screen you want to print out.
- Hit the “Alt” + “Print Screen” key combination (in other words, hold down the “Alt” key and then press the “Print Screen” key.)
- Load up a word processor such as WordPad (which comes with Windows and is available from the “Start” button under Programs -> Accessories.)
- In WordPad, go to the “Edit” menu item and select “Paste”. The screen you want to print from the eMedia title will now appear in WordPad.
- In WordPad, go to the “File” menu, select “Print...” and click “OK.” The eMedia product screen will be printed.
