Printing in Opera

So you pressed the print button and nothing happened?
For some reason, Opera doesn’t allow Java applets to print by default.  This gives you two options:

a)  Use another browser when using worksheet genius - there are no such restrictions within Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.
b)  Grant printing privileges to applets in Opera.

How do I grant printing privileges?
You’ll need to add a line to the “Opera.policy” file.  It’s not straightforward, but if you’re using Opera, you probably know your way around a computer anyway.  Here’s what you do:

1. Close Opera - so you might want to print this page off before continuing.
2. In case you make a mistake, make a copy of the original policy file before making any changes - on Windows, you’ll find it in C:\Program Files\Opera\classes\Opera.policy. 
3.  Open the Opera.policy file in a text editor (eg. Notepad).
4. Find the line that says: grant {
5
. Just underneath, add the following line:
         
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "queuePrintJob";
6. Save the file and re-start Opera.

Voila! You should now be able to print.  Obviously, any changes you make to your Opera.policy file are all at your own risk.
