How Can I Get This Email to Print from a Library Networked Computer?

Many emails from public services like Yahoo, Google, AOL and others are design so that the "print" button you see in their email window works best with personal computers. They do not always work well with a networked printing system like the one we have in the library. Sometimes, clicking the Yahoo print button in the Yahoo email service has automatically shut down a library computer.

Here are three things to try:
  1. Copy and paste the text of your email into a Word document, then send it to print.
  2. If your email system has a "Download" email button, click it and save the email to the library computer, then send to print. After printing, delete both the document from the public computer and empty the trash.
  3. If the email document downloaded still doesn't print, rename it to remove any odd symbols (%#-_) from the document name and try printing again.
