Print a web page properly
Get a web page onto paper, knowing what will come out before it does.
A web page is laid out again for paper, so what comes out is narrower and longer than the screen.
The print window shows those sheets first, and counts them, before anything moves.
Key points
- Print lives in the browser menu, or Ctrl and P
- The window counts the sheets before any paper moves
What to remember
- Look at the sheet count before you press anything.
- The print window shows the paper before you spend it.
Try this
Open a web page and hold Ctrl and press P. Read the sheet count, then close the window without printing.
