I know this is slightly older and also trailing more off-topic, but I just encountered this thread while Spring cleaning old Newegg ads in my inbox.... PDF files were what came to mind as a potential workaround. How do those do for you all as a (yeah, I know > *PITA*) first step before sending to physical printer? I've never had any problem printing at that site. I use a couple different browsers that come straight from their development website. That's a notable factor that might make a difference. I also print straight to file and not a physical printer. It sounds like *maybe* something was *possibly* slightly flubbed up in their HTML-type coding. For anyone not versed in web design, those printer definitions can be separately defined to help customers use precious printer ink only for necessary purchase receipt information instead of ALL the colorful picture ads, etc. I remember playing around with that. Part of that memory is about having lost a few hairs over *repeatedly* accidentally blocking out important information k/t *repeated* bad coding on my part. *My* experience has been that Newegg *does* respond by taking action without further interaction and/or by actually writing back if you click whatever method is available to contact them. My contact with them was about some serious, negatory shenanigans involving third party vendors. That's a notable point with respect to how phenomenally fast they were in emailing back AFTER they had already addressed the situation, i.e. zapped a bunch of product listings and I think also the vendor, in protection of their customers.
