Okay.... ob_start ("ob_gzhandler") is a very cool thing to use. At least when you write _to much_ code like I do. And it works perfectly.... ....most of the time, i.e. I've got this problem: My pages start with the gzhandler (see above) to decrease the amount of data that should be transferred. Nicest thing is that if your browser doesn't support any compression, the data will be sent uncompressed. Very cool. But then Netscape... It understand gzip. Yes it does but they forgot something. At the point that you want to print out the page your looking at in your browser, Netscape forgets to unzip the data. Guess what... a whole lot of crap on the paper. Well not very much ofcourse _BECAUSE IT'S COMPRESSED!!!_ I don't realy like this bug and I'm wondering if someone maybe has some solution for this.... RenzE
