Rare MrSchwump Posted December 26, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Has anyone had this issue printing luggage tags? My name and room # will not print. All the info is on screen and everything prints except my name and room#. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted December 26, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Does it show on the print preview? With the exception of those you mention, does the entire tag actually print? That info is, of course, contained *within* the borders of the tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFSailaway Posted December 26, 2023 #3 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I've had this problem in the past as well. What worked for me was adjusting the printing scale slightly. In the dialogue box that pops up when you go to print the document, select "more settings," then "scale," then "custom." Then you'll have to play around with the scale numbers slightly. I think I scaled it down somewhere between 90 and 99 percent, and I was able to then get the entire luggage tag to print on one page. Hope this helps! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonye60 Posted December 26, 2023 #4 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Make sure your page is set to A4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted December 26, 2023 #5 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I always use the "print to pdf" function. Then I print the pdf and it comes out perfectly. No sizing issues at all. 56 minutes ago, Tonye60 said: Make sure your page is set to A4 I have never set anything to A4. That's not a standard US size and the OP is in the US. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A4 is is the international counterpart and is slightly larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puzzums Posted December 27, 2023 #8 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Does the printed luggage tag need to be in color, or does black print only suffice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black and white is fine. No need for colour. My laser printer only does black and white and that's been fine for all our cruises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porters have tags at port and can fill them out for you when you drop your bags and attach them for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you have it choose "Capture Rectangle" (the button with dotted lines. Draw your rectangle around the luggage tag. Then choose print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have *never* printed ours in color...they don't care. All they really want to know is what cabin they need to go to. The name is really just in case there's a snag and they get misplaced.

Anybody using Windows has the "Snip" feature built into the OS. Snip allows you to draw a box around anything on the screen and "snip" it. You can then save it to your desktop or anywhere else you like. No need for a third party app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for a third party app. If I were to try and take a screen shot to handle this, I use a third party app that I've had for years that would easily do the job. That being said...I've never had an issue using the print function either as embedded in the page or the normal Chrome print function. I guess I've been lucky in that respect.
