Printing anything from a browser – articles, receipts, directions, etc – can be frustrating because what you want gets printed along with  banner ads, page titles, and single lines of footer text, i.e. lots of paper and ink waste.  Now, without a lot of trouble, you can select exactly what you want to print using a Bookmarklet called PrintWhatYouLike.   You have the option to select different parts of a page to print, creating tidy and specific print results.

Bookmarklets are great because there is nothing to install, download or configure.  Simply drag the application into your Bookmark Toolbar.   When you are on the page you want to print, click on the Bookmarklet.  A user menu appears in the left column of your browser providing selection options.
