Hi all,

Just curious if there is a way to work around the browser printing
limitations when printing from a TiddlyWiki. For example, if I try to
print from any other document, I can specify to print only even
numbered pages, etc. But if I print from Firefox, I can't do that.
Seems strange that I can't control that.

It's a major pain because if I want to create a printed manual,
syllabus or booklet based on a long set of tiddlers, and have easy two-
sided printing, I can't do that.

Just wondered if there is something I am overlooking...

You could try using a PDF printer to export the document and print it
from your PDF viewer.
Also, you might try a different browser specifically for printing your
docs. Opera has the best support for print properties:

Cool. I'll try the pdf option soon. Happy New Year, by the way.
