Thread: How to set up page to page printing

I have my site linked (to my index and to each page #) and up but as there are a number of pages of charts, I want the viewer to be able to print more than a page at a time. What do I do to my pages to enable this?

No can do: just as browsers can view only one page at a time, so too a printer can perform one 'job' at a time. Even though you may be able to open up multiple browsers to provide multiple simultaneous "views," being unable to "merge" views or print job requests means there will always be the que spooled to the printer, and the printer will only print exactly what is in the browser --- one page at a time (however "long" that page may be).

The only possible way around this is to "fool" the visitor by having already anticipated the print request: you will need to provide a link to a single file that is in fact different than what is being viewed on the web page, so when they download to print out the file, it is actually a file that contains the "merged" page, preformatted with the "enhanced view" that is 'suggested' >>> such as a teacher supplying a 'long form' of a chart rather than the abbreviated chart drawn on the board.

Hi, might be worth converting the pages to pdf & popping them in a zip file for download.
