How to make any website print friendly

by Karen on April 13, 2010

I have a little obsession with finding new information.  I love learning, and finding new articles, resources, and knowledge.

But there’s a problem with the internet: it sucks to read for long period of time online.  When I am learning something new, it helps to have a hard copy to read, highlight and make notes. I can’t help it, I’m just a nerd that way.

Print Friendly makes it easy to print any website simply.

This great site gives you three options:

  • Add a print friendly button to your bookmark tool bar (which I use the most)
  • Add a print friendly button to your website
  • Enter any URL directly on their site to convert into a print friendly version

For example, when I entered my latest post at Dreamin’ the Life, it converts the page into a simplified version that looks like this:

You can hover over the pop up of your web page, and delete whatever areas that you don’t want printed (pictures, certain paragraphs, comments of a blog post). It simplifies the page, makes it easily edited so that you can print only what you want and save time, ink and paper.
