Print Books in Moodle 2.16

Print Books in Moodle 2.16

Hello! Does anyone know how to print out books in Moodle 2.16?  When I used Moodle 1.95, the print function is very clear (both for chapters & entire book). I did look into "how to print" on the Moddle book setting webpages but didn't find anything for 2.1, only 2.3, which seems a little different.

Any feedback is appreciated!  Thanks!

Hi there. What is your difficulty with printing books in Moodle 2.1? These pages are for 2.2 but I think they still relate to 2.1 http://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Book_settings

Weird?!  There is no enable/disable print function in our Moodle 2.1...  Maybe it is just how our version is setup...  Thanks for the link Mary!  I will look into this and see if there's something we can do to setup the print function.

Hi Helen,

Yes we too are running 2.1.6+ and had noticed we do not have the option to 'enable or disable printing' in the Book settings.

In Moodle 1.9 the option was just under 'Chapter numbering' and icons were sitting at the top of each 'page', but in Moodle 2.1.6 it isn't there? This was a really handy feature and part of the reason we installed the Book module. 

We will be upgrading soon so that will resolve our issue, but I did a search and it looks like this was a bug that affects 2.0, 2.1 & 2.22...

Here is a forum discussion (which is talking about and Moodle 2.2.4): http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=208252 but if you go to the Moodle Tracker link: http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-33262 and read the comments, Helen Foster advises "...unfortunately Moodle 2.1.6 is supported for security fixes only. We recommend that you upgrade to a fully supported version.".
