Printing Playlist

MimiLee · #1 September 14th, 2014, 04:12 PM

Hopefully I am doing something wrong. When I choose File, Print Playlist it comes up in WordPad in HTML code.

I would think it would come up in a list type display, not like this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Print def007.hst - Hoster v5.31.01</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color: #ffffff;
color: #000000;
font-family: Arial Rounded MT Bold;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
font-size: 12px; }
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table width="95%" border=1 align="center" cellpadding=5 cellspacing=0>
<tr>
<th>#</th>
<th>Dur</th>
<th>Singers</th>
<th>Title</th>
<th>Artist</th>
<th>Key</th>
<th>Tempo</th>
<th>Book ID</th>
<th>Brand</th>
<th>Disc ID</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>02:53</td>
<td>Lee</td>
<td>Among My Souvenirs</td>

It should open in your Browser as html, you then select print from your browsers file menu.
It shouldn't open in Wordpad.

The playlist prints a list exactly as the playlist is showing and is not editable.

The playlist reports open the same way but they can be sorted on columns.

It is shown in this video from the help menu:

What is the default application for .html files on your system? One way to find out is:

Open your Control Panel
Click on Default Programs
Click on Associate a file type or protocol with a program (This may take a long time to open)
Under the left Name column, search for and select .html
If it's not a web browser (IE, Chrome, Firefox, etc.):
- Click on the Change Program button
- Select one of the Recommended Programs, your favorite web browser, for example
- Click OK
While you're there, check (and fix if necessary) the .htm setting
Click Close
Close the Control Panel window.

After all that, try the Print Playlist feature again.

Thanks to both Roy Dennis and dclark. I finally took the time to see what was happening. I never would have thought of the list opening in a browser. It works like a charm when the setting are correct. Also, don't know why my default for an html would be Wordpad...the marvels of windows 8.1.

I'm glad your Hoster is working better.

"marvels"? I think I would have used a different word, but I know what you mean.
