My wife complained that when she tried to print a one-page recipe, she
got three pages.
Specifically, it's the recipe at
<http://www.food.com/recipe/grilled-cabbage-41419> but I suspect that
this happens in general.
Is there a simple way to select only what you want to print and then
print it (like the way you can quote only a part of a message you are
replying to in Thunderbird)?
Thanks.

There are many ways to do this. What you see as one page may in fact be
assembled from two or more pages. (That's the simple explanation: the
technical details can be quite complicated). So the Print function spits
out two or more pages.
Relatively simple workaround which I use:
a) Print Preview > check which page(s) you want to print, then Print >
control pane opens > "Print pages x to y" > print it.
This usually works, but sometimes you need to change the print zoom
and/or page orientation to make things fit. You may have to print
different pages at different zoom/orientation for the same reason.
More complicated workaround:
b) Highlight and Copy what you want to print, then Paste into your
favourite word processor. You can do this with the images, too. Then
print from the word processor. Bonus: you can save the recipe for future
reprinting, or attaching to an e-mail, etc.

The "Selection" is the radio button on Print Dialog window.

Web pages do not have page breaks. They may go on for dozens of pieces of

But the printer does, and labels "pages" 1, 2, 3, etc.

vertical content from that, say, 33 inch long web page. This relationship
between web page length and the printed rendition of it has been this way
since the WWW began. A web page is "one page long."
For a recipe such as these cabbages, your best bet is to select/copy only
the actual recipe parts from the web page, and paste it into a text
editor (Notepad or similar) and print from there. You can even arrange
the formatting to a better view. In fact, I do this for my wife on a
somewhat regular basis. The last one was Mexican lasagna.
And it always looks better when printed out in plain text.

I quite like using the extension Nuke Anything Enhanced for this:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nuke-anything-enhanced/?src=ss
right-click the offending parts of the page and choose either "remove selection" or
"remove this object". Or highlight what you want to print, and choose "remove
everything else". Then click on Print preview to make sure of the result. The
advantage of this method is that you can keep formatting / pictures etc. much easier
and it is faster than pasting to a word processor (which will usually have to download
web content / images freshly).
Once you get used to the concept of being able to modify web pages like this you will
quite start to miss it on other browsers.
PS: There is also a version that makes these sort of changes permanently, it is called
R.I.P. (Remove It Permanently).

specifically for printing. It's a rare case where one is found. I just
looked at nearly a dozen news sites, and only the Wall Street Journal has
one. The bbc.co.uk and wired.com sites have 'media="screen,print"'
stylesheets, which defeats the purpose, of course. I wish more webmasters
knew how to use CSS properly.
Personally, I have been using 'media="print"' stylesheets for a decade or
more.

Once installed, a single key click activates it. You then select the
rectangle that just includes what you wish to save. Then you capture
the selected area to the printer, a file, or both to save. That is
all. You capture both the text and any images. For printing out, I use
a black-and-white laser printer which now can be had for a very low
cost and can use very cheap paper with good results. If you demand
color prints you can use an ink jet or color laser printer at more

Also if you are set up to capture in pdf format, you can capture many

For Windows : Scroll and zoom or unzoom to make what you want to print
appear in the one window. Do Alt-PrtScn, open Paint, edit out what is
not required, edit in reference information such as URL and datestamp.
When OK in File, Print Preview ... print.
Not necessarily so convenient; but reliable if the printer resolution is
good enough.

I was wondering about that myself, as you've noted, Clicking "Install Now"
does nothing except opening a new blank Tab.
Thereafter, there is nothing Aardvark installed anywhere, and no the
supposed keys for the actions also does nothing.
So something is not right.
And we are now a bit past April the 1st, so I wonder what is the answer?

It's only shortcoming is that it cannot scroll to capture what is not

I still have no idea why clicking the "Install Now" on the Aardvark page
does nothing except open a new blank Tab.
It sure as hell doesn't install or do anything else.
So how exactly is this Bookmarklet thing supposed to get installed and
thereafter function?
Thanks
Dave
Yes I know about the key actions as I've reverted to the Addon version.

got it right. For many websites, this one included, the site author
provides a way (and often the best way) to print just the operative info
from the page. It is often worth looking around the page for printing
instructions...

I'm thoughtful enough that, if I include a link which says something
like "click here", I arrange for the relevant section to be excluded
from printout (however achieved). So perhaps that's one.

One would prefer that the IRrelevant section be excluded! :-)

wasn't meant sarcastic, a lot of people prefer keyboard commands, so Aardvaark is
better for them. The main problem with key commands is that they are hard to remember
for the casual user (plus potential conflicts with other Add-Ons).
Aardvark is slightly more intuitive on highlighting what is removed, but usually Nuke
Anything is pretty quick when used with "Undo last remove", in case wanted stuff gets
deleted accidentally.

may have solved the problem, but nobody specifically
mentioned the solution I use. Display what you want to print,
PrtSc, open a graphics program (I use Corel PhotoPaint, but
there are plenty of others), select the portion of the image
that you want to see, copy, make a new image from the copied
portion, print it. Using a graphics program lets you perform
other useful manipulations such as resizing or zapping unwanted
sections of the image.
