Printing text only

more options

Hello,

I've set up automatic printing (for restaurant order receipts), using filters. My problem is, even though the mail is pretty short with almost no text, it prints 2 pages, one of them is completely blank.

How can I set up Thunderbird printing to print text only?

Thank you! Tom

Take a close look at one of the e-mails being printed. Check to see that there are no empty/blank lines after the text. Viewing the source of the e-mail may help with that.

See my snip below for how to view the source of the e-mail.

If you are not familiar with anything you see when you view the source of the e-mail, then paste it here for me to see. After you paste it, replace any personally identifying information (like the from and to addresses), with *******.
