Re: Printing Documents from a web page

Did you try using the JAWS cursor? I don’t know why the print button wasn’t accessible tabbing around, but since it’s a standard print dialogue, this cursor should still help you move the mouse pointer to the correct position and click on it.

Hello Everyone,
This has now happened twice to me, so I am wondering if there is a solution. Today I wanted to print a recent Amazon purchase invoice. I logged in, got to the invoice, and found the print button. I then pressed enter on print and the usual print dialogue came up. My Canon 210 series printer was listed as the default printer. When I used the tab key to try to find the print button, I could not find it. I did find the cancel button. It does not help to just press enter without tabbing to the print button. I contacted AIRA and the agent was able to activate the print button for me. I had a nearly identical situation occur last month with making a copy of a cancelled check at my online banking page. The fact that this has occurred twice at two different web sites makes me wonder if I have some setting wrong or why JAWS is not letting me get to the button. Any ideas on what is going on and how to resolve this?
I am using Windows 10, Google Chrome, and JAWS 2021.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi there, I'm sorry, but I didn't exactly get you... in case you were talking about the description of the function, you can easily find the descriptions in the builtin file. Take a look at this page:

Re: mute topic option
Sandra,
My suggestion would be using the JAWS links list feature, and activating it from there. I really don't understand why you're having the problem you're having, but trying another method to gain focus on the link would be my first choice. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042 One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time. ~ André Gide

Re: mute topic option
David,
That's how it should work, though it's been ages since I last activated a Mute this Topic link in an e-mail message. If you are not logged in on the Groups.io website, you will be prompted to enter your login ID (the e-mail address with which you've subscribed) and password, as topic muting is something managed under your account level settings, but everything is already "filled in" as far as the actual information to mute a specific topic. If you have never established a password for your Groups.io account, then see: Establishing a Groups.io Website Account Password If You’ve Been an E-Mail Only User (docx)
What Sandra describes sounds like focus has somehow jumped back to the Reply to Sender link rather than remaining on the Mute this topic link. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042 One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time. ~ André Gide

Thanks, Mario. This workaround does the trick. In Edge, I need to add to your two steps an additional two presses of F6. Meanwhile, I'll keep looking for a solution.
