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?
Thanks.
Have you tried disabling JavaScript before printing with SeaMonkey?
I would assume that the content provider must be scripting to handle
the print request, so this might stop it. Unfortunately it might
result in some missing content as well if scripting retrieves the
data displayed.
Just did.
I visited
<https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/04/world/asia/north-korea-missile-program-sabotage.html>
normally to get the content, which displayed normally. Then I disabled
javascript in the browser and called Print Preview, which displayed
<https://nyti.ms/2lHz4E9>.
The relevant source code, where the page calls this alternative content, is:
<div id="notification-modals" class="notification-modals"></div>
<span class="story-short-url"><a
href="https://nyti.ms/2lHz4E9";>https://nyti.ms/2lHz4E9</a></span>
The class "story-short-url" does not appear elsewhere in the source
code, so I must assume it's in one of the style sheets.
