I can only print what is seen on the monitor, is there a way to print multiple pages directly from the web?
I use HP Device Manager for my HP PSC 2355 All in one.
Alternatively, is there other software that will do the job?
I was using Chrome as my web browser and although I knew it had a File > Print option ... it always only printed the first page.
I played around for hours thinking it was my inability to set it up for multiple page printing, but without success.
Thanks for the advise as it was much appreciated.
All browsers I've worked with print all the pages, not only the visible part.
This has also been my experience--that browsers would print long webpages across multiple sheets of paper. I think there might be a question of interpretation here--when OP said "multipages," did he mean multiple webpages (which was my interpretation) or multiple paper pages from a single webpage?

Just to clarify, I wanted to print a web document that showed in print preview as 6 pages. In HP manager (I guess other print programs are similar) I ticked the relevant box (i.e. 1-6) and it would still only print the first page and only what was shown on the screen. It's disappointing when we have to first save the entire document as a PDF and then print ... Pity all web pages don't have a print option (I know some do).
If print preview for a single webpage shows six printed pages and only page one prints, something is definitely wrong. I would suggest this for further testing:
If you have not tried another browser, do so.
Then try a couple of browsers on an entirely other computer.
If you have a friend who has a different computer and printer test on those.
The idea is to find out if the problem is local to your browser, computer, or printer. It is also theoretically possible, I guess, that the webpage may be in some way malformed.
If you can post the link, I'd be happy to test it on my system. I have not encountered any problems with this sort of print job (crossing fingers).
