| Help printing the Times online Archives, please I cannot print them out (just get blank pages) - have tried saving them in every format that seems to be on offer and still can't do it! I don't think it can be our printer, as we replaced it recently and had the same problem with the old one. Any ideas please? Thanks

| Joan, is it the new site that you're trying to print from, or the (old) Times Digital Archive one?

| Hello Kite I don't know whether it is the old or new site that I am trying to print from ![]() I am using this link - Times Archive | Online Newspaper Archive of The Times from 1785-1985 - and when I print, I just get blocks of grey where the article should be ![]() Thanks

| That's the new site, Joan. It does say on their home page that they still have some "hitches" that they are working on fixing, and it says this in the FAQ's: I have tried to save and print an article but have got a blank page. Why is this happening? Unfortunately a number of the save/print images were lost during one stage of the Archive launch. We are in the process of restoring them, but it is proving to be a considerable task. Please accept our apologies for now; they should all be available shortly. Do you have access to the Gale database including Times Digital Archive via your local library? Because that is the "old" version that I was talking about and presumably printing from that site is o.k., although I haven't ever printed anything off from it so I don't know for sure.

| Thanks Kite - my local library doesn't have access to Gale - but I think you are right - I'm sure I had no problems when the free trial was going on.
