I was purchasing something last night, using my Lumia 1520 with WP 8.1 DP. After the checkout process, it gave me a page to print for my records.
The site (California DMV...very low tech), did not ever ask for my email, so email order confirmation was not an option. I had the confirmation page on my IE screen, but realized I had no way to print it (strike #1 for WP, as iOS can print). Thinking I would just screen capture the screen, I opened a new tab to look up how to do that in WP 8.1. I brought up tabs again, and tapped on the image of the DMV tab I left open. When I did that, it did the equivalent of a page refresh, which lost my order information!
Why didn't the tab just stay the way it was? When I switch tabs in desktop IE, the pages don't refresh when I choose a different tab so why would it do that in IE for WP 8.1?
Very annoying since I now have no proof of my order. Lesson learned -- don't do anything serious in IE on WP 8.1 (like purchasing anything).
Is there a way to "print" to PDF or such on WP 8.1?
