[Edit 23/09/14 – temporary fix – use the print button now added at the bottom of each post. This works safely.]

Sorry to anyone already affected by this, but it appears that trying to print from this site in Internet Explorer to a laser printer causes the printer to crash or reboot – and not print.

I have absolutely no idea what is causing this. Chrome prints fine, as does Safari and Firefox (albeit faintly). I have an idea for a workaround, but it will take some considerable fiddling.

In the meantime, if you must use Internet Explorer (and why?) then print via the print  icon at the end of the post. If you don’t see that icon, then your IT department has done something strange and more than somewhat paranoid to your proxy settings and you’ll have to ask them.
