• Awkward packaging

  wcm8756July 31, 2016

  Pros

  useful function

  Cons

  awkward packaging

  Summary

  I remember using a very convenient print-control browser add-on, and I thought it was printwhatyoulike. The add-on placed a button on a toolbar that gave one-click access to the function. However, as I read the current website that a browser button is not available. The process of copying and pasting a url onto the printwhatyoulike website is much less convenient than a simple browser button. I am unlikely to use this function as a web service. If the browser add-on exists, somehow its availability is not obvious.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Aug 27, 2016<p/>Addendum: Found the "bookmarklet". Installs on browser favorites toolbar (which I don't usually display). After using it awhile, I find that it only works on some websites. If I could change my rating, I'd increase it to 3 stars.

• Doesn't work on all web pages

  daveyccOctober 6, 2008

  Pros

  When it works its great! Print only what you like, get rid of ads and banners and sidebars. No risk, nothing to download. Just bookmark the site, hit the "try it" section and substitue your website address into the URL.

  Cons

  Now if it would work on all web pages, that would be great!

  Summary

  No risk, since there is nothing to download. Use it when you need it!

• FABULOUS !!

  EchidnaSeptember 28, 2008

  Pros

  Very simple to use. Allows me to edit, then print only the wanted parts of a web page. I particularly like the fact that I can also enlarge the text, change the font etc.

  Cons

  I have found no Cons.

  Summary

  The easiest way to use the programme is to save the PrintWhatYouLike Bookmarklet to your Bookmarks, then when you are on the web page you wish to edit and print - just one left click on this bookmarklet will place the programme ready to use on the left side of the target web page.

• Excellent!

  OmachkaSeptember 27, 2008

  Pros

  Extremely easy to use. No program to download and install. Saves paper, ink and squinting at tiny print.

  Cons

  Absolutely none

  Summary

  This little script is exactly what I've been looking for. I print a lot of articles to share with friends and also a lot of recipes for myself to use in the kitchen. It is so much nicer not to have to print up all the extra junk that I don't need. I can make the print larger for easier reading (which is perfect for the recipes) and not have to skip around looking for where the advertising stops and the article begins. Thank you so much for this great utility.

• And I download this how...?

  BookieMDSeptember 27, 2008

  Pros

  Like the concept and the demo worked

  Cons

  Frustrated trying to get it!

  Summary

  Can't find a download link. Not only is it "not intuitive" as another reviewer wrote - it is not visible to me.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Sep 27, 2008<p/>The comment from jonathan_prwl clarifies that this is not a downloadable utility. Still mulling the convenience of leaving the site I wish to print and go to another site in order to customize printing...

• Confusing; Doesn't capture full page I tried

  TimHoHereSeptember 27, 2008

  Pros

  The "test me" worked wonderfully; The ability to change type &#38; font size to printer extremely valuable

  Cons

  (a)Not a techie I can't figure if this is a download deal or on web click the link (b) I entered the url of Wall Street Journal article. Print it Now provided only the first three paragraphs, Apparently WSJ (and others?) thwart this product

  Summary

  great if it would work

• Good but download not intuitive

  peter_coxSeptember 27, 2008

  Pros

  Does what it says. Simple to use.

  Cons

  Cannot work out how to apply the bookmarklet facility so that I can launch it from within a page I wish to edit.

  Summary

  Would be five stars if slightly more friendly towards the non-expert user.
