Hey People,

Got a quick dreamweaver question.........i developed a basketball site a few months ago and within the design is a fixtures sheet. Basically there have been quite a few fixture changes, and to make life easier i thought i would print out the page and make the amendments by hand first. But i have no idea how to print!!! can anyone help me please?

Also there are quite a few graphics on the page which is a waist of ink to print out. All the information is in a table......is there a way you can print like a text only version thats printer friendly??

Screen shots was the only way i could print, but i end up with a whole heap of paper and waisted ink!

Thanks alot

For : two practical paths — a fast browser-only print and a small, permanent print stylesheet. As hinted, CSS is the right long-term fix; meanwhile use the browser print dialog (Ctrl+P/Cmd+P) and turn off "print background images/colors" to save ink. If only the fixtures table is needed, select it and use "Print selection" or use the browser's Reader/Reading View (Firefox/Edge) or "No Style" (View > Page Style in Firefox) to get a text-only printout.

A small print stylesheet hides graphics and trims page chrome so the fixtures table prints cleanly. Example rules to include in a print.css or inside an @media print block:

@media print {
  img, .no-print, nav, .sidebar, .footer { display: none !important; }
  table { width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; page-break-inside: avoid; }
  th, td { color: #000; background: none !important; font-size: 11pt; }
  a::after { content: " (" attr(href) ")"; font-size: 90%; color: #000; }
}

Implementation notes for Dreamweaver: add a dedicated print.css and link it in the page head with media="print", or paste the @media print block into the existing stylesheet via the CSS panel or Code view. Always preview by printing to PDF first to confirm table widths, font sizes, and page breaks. If rows split awkwardly, use page-break-inside: avoid on tr or break the table into printable chunks.

Common gotchas: some browsers still print inline background images unless the user disables background printing; inline styles can override the print rules, so check specificity. For details on print media queries and supported properties, see MDN's @media print documentation ().
