Suppose you have to take the print out of a web page while working in a project.Some times the whole content in the page will not be printed as the contents at the end of the margin are cut off or the images are not displayed properly. Alignment issues and padding issues may also appear in print pages.So the user should be careful while taking the print out of a web page.

  1. Ensure that print screen is displayed on presing Ctrl+P key.
  2. Ensure that print screen is displayed on clicking the 'Print' option in File menu.
  3. Ensure the lay out of the print screen is displayed properly.
  4. Ensure the user is able to select Portrait/Landscape orientation.
  5. Ensure the user is able to set the print range.
  6. Ensure all the buttons in the print screen are working properly.
  7. Ensure the print preview works correctly.
  8. Ensure the foreground and background colour doesnot change.
  9. Ensure the font size is same as displayed on the screen.
  10. Ensure the texts and images are print properly.
