I went to quilterscache.com and found a pattern that could be printed (just for my personal use only). Instructions said to go to file and choose print, but there was nothing like that on the page. What am I doing wrong-am I missing something on my computer? Please help a quasi-illiterate computer person. Thanks, Cyd

What browser are you using? In Explorer there's a picture of a printer very close to the top of the page. Click that. If you are printing out a paper piecing template then you should click the little down arrow and choose "print preview" and make sure it will print at 100% (not shrink to fit) otherwise your measurements will be off.

at the top of the page, in your bar are the words file, edit, view, favorites, tools and help.
Click on file and then click on print :D:D:D

Go to Tools, then put a check mark next to all the toolbars. They will appear on your screen under the address bar. You should then have a print icon.

But, there is nothing at the top of the page--no file, edit, view, nothing. Is it hopeless? I am using explorer.

Press Control and P at the same time.

You may be in "Full Screen" view. Click "F11" on your keyboard and see if your menu bars don't reappear.

Thanks, but nothing helps. Put tools and then toolbars in the start menu box, but nothing came up to help. Somehow those items across the top of the page are just lost to me. My extremely poor speed has affected many things. Verizon went to 4G in our area, but my external modem is only listed at 3G--don't know if that is part of the problem. Probably I've done something wrong to cause this.
