Many website nowadays have their own "Print" buttons that deliver what
the designers consider "printer-friendly" versions of their pages. But
even if I ignore those and use SeaMonkey's own "Print" function, many
sites outsmart me by serving their "printer-friendly" versions. A prime
example is <http://www.nytimes.com>. Pick any page and print it, and
you'll find that you've lost all the graphics, fonts, and layout and
gotten only a plain-text version of the page.
Does anyone know how to outsmart these sites and print the pages as
received, complete with all the bells and whistles?
Conversely, for pages that are too fancy/fussy for my taste and don't
serve dumbed-down versions on their own, is there a way for the user to
select that?
A screen-capture program might work, but most pages you'll want to print
won't conveniently fit on one monitor/screen, so the 'scrolling' mode
would have to be used, and that frequently doesn't work well.
I tested the NYT page with SnagIt 7, and it captures what's on screen
fine (and can print that), but haven't managed to make the scrolling
work (and disabling add-ons and/or AV/ZA/etc didn't help).
Since, as Steve Dunn pointed out, the page's HTML is commanding this
behavior, I guess the only way to circumvent it is by 'impersonating' a
printer, like a screen-capture app does; maybe other such programs will
solve this problem better...

Thanks beforehand for your attention, and I hope to hear from you soon.
