I want to record my answers to questions in a census form. The browser page displays a new page without menu or status bar. I can bring up the Print dialog box with Control-P, and print to PDF. The layout and text of the web page is present, including the questions, but my answers are not shown; neither are the outlines of the input text fields.

How can I enable printing of the whole form, including my answers?

I am using Firefox 5 on Fedora 15 x86_64.

Dear mha007,

Thank you for your efforts in helping me.

  1. The new page is displayed without a menu or status bar because census.gov.au has disabled them.
  2. I am a software engineer, and also I have previously read the particular help pages you have gathered links to.

Perhaps this is specific to the web applications at https://*.census.gov.au. I have sent them a query; it's just that I don't expect an enlightening answer, and thought that others may have experienced and solved this problem before I did,

Okay, here is the reply from census.gov.au: "You will not be able to record your answers" So they want to stop me from making a record. I beg to differ with their decision on what I am allowed to do. Can anyone suggest any workarounds?

Try to make a screenshot of that page.

Thank you everyone. Yes, I guess I'll use import from ImageMagick. I was hoping for capturing the text rather than an image, and some pages are long and will need several images. I guess that census.gov.au is using javascript to stop me printing the contents of text input fields; maybe the solution is something like greasemonkey with some javascript to fight theirs. Anyway, I guess it's screenshots this year till I learn more.

The extensions can make a screenshot of the full page, including parts that are hidden.
So you can check out if they include the content of the text input fields.
