Problem with printing from a specific web site

[microlion]

It appears to be the Web Shield...

Suggestions for the next step will be greatly appreciated...

Ok.. This is what I have done to allow printing...

I am asking what are the dangers with doing this...?

I went to the Web Shield, under Customize, then to exceptions tab and in the 1. window (Urls to Exclude) I added *.asp.

I can now print...

Again I guess I need to know what the danger is of excluding *.asp...

Thanks....

.asp = active server page, so some script is being executed and in this case Java (Virtual Machine) so it is running something on your system. By excluding all .asp pages a huge amount of internet content could be potentially running scripts that you would know nothing about.

I would tend not to do that but remember it for the future if you ever have this problem temporarily add the *.asp to the url exclusions do the printing, etc. and remove the exclusion.

Do you know if there is a way to allow on *.asp from this one site....

[microlion]

Opps.. I should have said

"only allow *.asp from this one site"

If you are using this site regularly you could add the full url path of the domain http:// www . sofasogood.com/folder/*.asp (without the spaces) in the exclusions instead of only *.asp I think that should work try it.

Ok.. thanks... I will let you know how it turns out...
