Sometimes the text you wish to print is squished into a narrow column. Printing these pages is incredibly wasteful as the columns must be many pages long to compensate for being so narrow.

Widen forces this columns to use the entire page width.

6. Change Text Size

Click the "+" and "-" next to "Text Size" to increase and decrease text size.

7. Font Type

Change the page font with the "Font" drop-down.
Generally speaking, sans-serif fonts like Helvetica and Verdana look better on screen, while serif fonts like Times New Roman and Georgia look better on paper. Vera Sans Ecofont includes tiny holes in the characters to minimize ink consumption.

Select "Show" to make the background reappear.

9. Hide Images

Select "Hide" next to "Images" to remove all the images.
Select "Show" to make the images reappear.

To merge another web page into this one, Click "Add Page" and enter a url like www.cnn.com. Your new page will be added to the bottom of this page.

If the page you're adding and the page you started with are from the same site, your changes to the first page will be copied to the new page.

Try it: Select "Hide" next to "Background" and select "Hide" next to "Images", click "Add Page" and enter: www.printwhatyoulike.com/demo. A copy of this page will be added to the bottom of this page. The background and images on the new page will be missing because your changes were copied over.
