It's entirely possible that this problem is caused by my ignorance and not the stripcreator, but I was wondering if anyone else noticed this.

When I tried to print out someone's comic, I got the text and the characters, along with the title of the comic, the comic number, and the rest of the screen. What I didn't get was any background, or comic frame panels.

Is it that stripcreator doesn't like being printed, or am I just living in ignorance of how to use the printer?

I wouldn't recommend using the print command in your browser for printing comics. I have no idea how that would behave. You'd be better off to take a screenshot (hit your PRINT SCREEN key and then paste it into your favorite image editor) and print that instead. That should work fine, I think.

Yeah, that should work. The problem with printing straight from the browser, apart from the backgrounds not showing up, is that you get all the titles, favourites list, menus, blah blah blah...

Like Brad says, whack PrintScrn, open an image editor of some sort, go to the file menu and select "New from Clipboard" or something similar, then chop out the bits that don't look like comic.

Takes a couple of minutes, but you get a much better result.
