Missing printer and label receipt preferences on new (forced) label printing page

 I was going to switch to sticky labels that have 2 per page, so to avoid wasting labels I turned off the print instructions half of the label page. Well I havent gotten the labels yet so when I went to print a new label I wanted to turn the print instructions page back on which I like to use as a shipping receipt of sorts. Well (with another forced update to a page) its now missing from the print label page. Anyone have any idea how I might get that turned back on?

 

 Ive added a picture of the current forced label page. The only option I see is in the upper corner clicking the "Wheres the classic label printing" only takes you to a survey about if you like the new one or not. Which needless to say I dont. Why do they force these things on us? It should just be a one time thing where you can opt out of whatever "improved" version of a page there is and it stays that way.

 

 Anyway thanks for your help.

I believe that the "back to classic" link has since been removed.

 

See this thread for some other options:

For a simple one-time workaround you can manually edit the URL of the new label page, replacing new_label with back_to_classic. Or you can use berserkplanet's javascript code to make a bookmark that will do the same thing for you when you click on it, or you can set up a re-director rule that will do everything automatically, provided your browser is compatible.

You have to modify the URL. @eburtonlab @berserkerplanet

Thanks. I think I tried the bookmarklet before and it didnt work. But I created a new bookmark and will try again next time I need to print a label. This is on Firefox.

You are welcome! If you run into any difficulties with the new bookmarklet let me know and I will see if I can figure out the issue. Good luck.

Just to make sure I have it right. I created the bookmark using:

javascript:(function(){if(location.href.indexOf('https://gslblui.ebay.com/gslblui/new_label?')==-1)return;window.location.href='https://postage.ebay....);})();

So next time I have the new label page open just click on that bookmark and it should go to the classic one?

Unfortunately the message system mangles the code when you post it in a message; it treats it like a javascript command and tries to execute it -- which is why berserkerplanet included that "X" in javaXscript. But if you are copying the text from his message and removing the X, and pasting that into the location or URL field of your bookmark, you should be all set.

That was copy and pasted directly from the bookmark link. So I think its right.

Excellent! It is always nice to hear when something works, and you are most welcome.

 

Berserkerplanet deserves the credit for writing that code.
