Printing code for specific pages

[alasariko]

I have created a web page, and in it I would like to add the ability for the
visitor to click on a printer icon and print it (perhaps in plain text and or
graphics). I've searched within Publisher 2007 and did not find anything
related to this. Can someone suggest a solution? Thanks!!

Mellisa,

I am aware of the print function within the browser. However I wanted to add
a printer icon to a specific page and or text to give the user the
flexibility of printing specific text(s) (articles).

I think i might be able to come close to this by using the following code:

javascriptrint()

The piece of code requires that java is installed. Therefore, I was looking
for similar code that I will allow printing regardless if the end user has
java installed or not.

Javascript and java are two different things, and the user does not need to
have java installed. Try this snippet:

<A HREF="javascriptrint(document)">print this page</A>

The problem you will have is that it will still just print the page, just as
if you used the print function in the browser. If you want a "print
friendly" page, then you have to create it as a separate html file, link to
it, and when the user goes there, they print from that page.
