Printer friendly pages

[CeesvandeVelde]

Does anyone know of a simple way to make your pages printer friendly?

Thanks, Cees

use css

Use less graphics, less large fonts, less colors, use more grayscale colors, use white background (though by default when you print from browsers, they don't print the background)

Thanks, this will give me a lot of opportunities. What I could not figure out is the following:
How can I control the height of a webpage in such a way(other than by trial and error) that the content as a whole will be printed on one A4 sheet?
This is to prevent that a second A4 sheet will be needed to print only the last couple of lines.

When i make printer friendly pages, I just like to copy and pase all the text I have on the page into a new .txt file for viewing. You can't get any more printer friendly than that.

How can I have a icon on the section of webpage to print only that section of the page. I'm using webpage tonight and not writing it in code.

Thanks

I simply use a 775 pixels page width and use the browser preview to see what it would like once printed.
