Any 'print as printerfriendly page' automatizer?
Curt:
Some years ago I had no Internet connection, and spend a lot of time at the local library's public PC. Every time I came across something interesting I would hit Print, but very often the printed page would be missing the right margen with some text. A few sites have this 'view printerfriendly page' option, but only a few. I soon began to copy and paste the wanted text into Word, but it was and is a timeconsuming detour.
Now I am thinking that there must be some easier way to do this. They develop programs that can do almost anything, so maybe they also have developped some program that will let you hit 'print' and have ALL the text printed inside the margens.
Do you know of any such quick 'print as printerfriendly page' automatizer?

I think that "print" on opera looks good. At least that's what i conclude from seing the print preview (shift + p). It does print all the images, though :-\

I didn't check the print feature when I had Opera, but I is a fine browser, and of course I don't mind the pictures being printed; they are probably part of the story.
However, I'm not thinking about all the pages that are well constructed, but about the pages that seems not to be have written well; pages that don't give nice readable prints, no matter if you are using one or the other browser. I have been sadly surprised many times by the difference in Preview and actual print.

Hi Curt,
i have no automatizer, but two hints...
1. there are add-ons for FireFox with them you can remove unwanted parts of an side while you watching it...than print.
2. i often select the text i want,... paste it 'as HTML' into PSPad,... put an <HTML> bevor and an </HTML> behind,...
... then save this new *.html,.... open it again - the pictures should be loaded too, .. than print it to an PDF printer.
Or i save the hole side on disc,... open the source code and modify it.
It's nice if they have worked with TABLES,... so i just could add an WIDTH="75%".
If not, i add this TABLE tag myself around.
It's no automatizer, but if you do it often this way, you will be quick too :D

Danke schön, die Zeit zu brauchen, mir zu antworten.
No, "it's no automatizer", and my browsers, Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox 2, does have both Frontpage- and Word- 2003 integrated, so it is easy to save a page and then print it. It is easy, but not fast. I don't need options, in order to saving. What I do need for the printing feature in the browser, is speed and accuracy. More speed and more accuracy, please!

But maybe you all never have to print such a page that won't stay inside the margens in the final print. Maybe I'm the only one?
...some program that will let you hit 'print' and have ALL the text printed inside the margens.
