WP-Print

I add a post printing function to the site.

One of the things that bugs me about WordPress is that when you print a page, the resulting printout does not have the same formatting as the page in your Web browser. Instead, styles are pretty much stripped out and sidebar components are added to the end (at least in my case) to the printout. This makes the printout longer than it needs to be.

Enter Lester Chan’s WP-Print plugin. It enables you to add a Print link to your posts. When a user clicks the link, the plugin creates a simply formatted page with the page contents and URLs. You can then click a link on that page to print the formatted page.

It’s a much nicer solution than just printing from WordPress.
