You have a word document, you check its print preview and you see some images, but when you try to print, you just get some black boxes instead of images.

In order to be able to print this document go to :

 

 

Tools -> Options -> Print  and make sure that Drawing objects is ticked (it is in the section: Include with document)

Tools ->Options->View and make sure that Picture Placeholders is not ticked (it is in the show section)

 

If you want to print the background colors and images as well:

Tools -> Options -> Print  and make sure that Background colors and Images is ticked (it is in the section: Include with document)

Sometimes, when you write scripts in Linux/Unix, you need to get the date before 1 or more days from the current date. An easy way to do this and many more date calculations is to use the script called datecalc found in the link below:
