See http://community.contractwebdevelopment.com/firefox-printing-content-overflow for more info You can still print the page with pwyl by isolating just the article contents. The easiest way to do this is by selecting a paragraph in the article, clicking "expand" until the article is highlighted, and hitting "isolate". Isolate will remove the element causing the problem, and your article should print properly. @MikeD:

What a very elegant, useful, fun utility this is! Thank you so very much. HP has a utility called Smart Web Print that does some similar functions, but it seems only to work in MSIE. Looking forward to using the bookmarklet and not pasting urls. If pagezipper works on the art auction sites that now make me crazy, I will anoint your feet. A grateful world salutes you as we print prettier pages, save paper, and use less expensive, toxic ink. Wow wow wow! What a very elegant, useful, fun utility this is! Thank you so very much.

There's one page I want to print that I can't seem to get to print right, both the original page, and after changes with printwhatyoulike, it ony prints as much of the web page as will fit on one sheet of paper. http://nslog.com/2008/11/11/formatting_the_drobo_for_time_machine_backups With printwhatyoulike, I tried taking out the left sidebar column, isolated the main article column, did "fit to width" on the main article, tried to take out any other text and boxes that didn't relate to the main article. Thanks! Hi, I love printwhatyoulike!

With printwhatyoulike, I tried taking out the left sidebar column, isolated the main article column, did “fit to width” on the main article, tried to take out any other text and boxes that didn’t relate to the main article.

Thanks!

Very nicely done! Sorry to hear you are going over quota. You need mirrors. Or, you could post the code to Google Code or somewhere, then people can replace your API keys with their own API keys and run a separate copy. For example, at the library where I work, the bookmarklet would be a great tool to put on the Internet computers we have for the public to use. But if library PCs everywhere did that, that'd be like a million users a day right there -- they'd constantly be maxing out your app quota. Instead, I would want to host a local copy of printwhatyoulike.com/print on our server, I guess set up a second copy of each Google / YUI app, and set the bookmarklet to use that copy.

When you print your document or use print preview, the printwhatyoulike toolbar will disappear, and only your edited document will appear. @April Awesome! @Joleta You can preview what will print by using the print preview feature of your browser.

I saw it on Tekzilla and couldn't believe my eyes. I have used it twice today and saved approx 4 sheets of paper. I love this thing! I saw it on Tekzilla and couldn’t believe my eyes.

This is the best "green" function for saving paper there is. I need to see what I'm getting before I use paper. I couldn’t find a way to preview before I print.

I will work on adding a way to left justify the elements on the page. That is something which has annoyed me too. I'm glad you were able to hack the urls. There is also a bookmarklet on the printwhatyoulike.com homepage that works in a similar fashion. Go to any page, click the pwyl bookmarklet, and that page will open in pwyl. @titusdaman: I'm working on a save to pdf feature now. It should be available in the next week or so @Ziggyzmo, Spud: You are right, pwyl currently can not access any page which is password protected or not publicly available. I'm working on a Firefox plugin/bookmarklet which will allow you to include the pwyl editor in any page you are browsing without having to go to printwhatyoulike.com. That will fix the problem. @jcmoriaud: There is no relationship with Aardvark, although I really like Aardvark and I tried to steal their best ideas:) My original idea was as a kind of firebug for the masses. So I also stole a lot of ideas from them too. But if you play around on PrintWhatYouLike you will see a whole bunch of stuff that doesn't exist in either plugin, such as how you click to select elements, the ability to merge pages together, the point and click toolbar, extra commands like remove images, etc. Thanks for the translation offer! Right now the site is not even set up for translation :( I plan to internationalize the site soon and add different translations. When that happens I may take you up on the offer :) Thanks everyone!!
