I went to a question on this m.s.e. and printed it, expecting to see the page as it had appeared in the browser window. But the mathematical notation appears in the printed copy as unrendered TeX code. Is this normal? Can something be done about it?

Have a look to the Api doc [5].
[1] http://www.stackprinter.com/I printed it as a pdf and all the math is typeset neatly. I did not try printing directly to a printer since I do not have access to one now. You could try to print it as a pdf and then try to print it using a printer. I am on Chrome Version $23.0.1271.64$ on Mac OS X $10.7.5$.
This is the question [1] I printed and here is the printed pdf [2].

This is done from a terminal window, I type in import filename.jpg as a command, at that point the usual mouse arrow now appears as peculiar crosshairs. I then click on the web browser, which is just Firefox. The result is the creation of a jpeg called filename.jpg in the directory from which i called the import command. Perhaps other types of machine have such a screen capture available.

import
command is part of the ImageMagick
suite of image editing software. Basically it just performs a screen capture. On Windows the same effect can be achieved by hitting the PrtScn
key and pasting the result into an image editing software. - Willie Wong
