Hello. I'm not sure if this should go in the "RSD Suggestion Box", but is there a way to make my pages created with RSD "print friendly", within RSD?

I know there's 3rd party sites that will take a static page, eliminate certain elements and then I can repost as a separate, static page. However, when I need to update it (for example, an events page that's always changing), I'd need to basically do it twice for the "print friendly" page. I know you can also edit the CSS page directly, but with RSD, every time I export, I'd then need to redo the CSS page.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi David,
Yes add a custom style sheet link just for print styling to the head of your page.

Then add a class like noprint to every element you don't want printed and add that class to your print style sheet.

Thanks Eric for the help.

That method might have difficulties I believe if the content does not gracefully collapse. You might need to redo the page manually, the way you would want it printed, then copy the css rules, and attach a custom stylesheet that is linked to the media=print query. It's not easy. However, once done, you would have a good template if you are consistent with your pages and they have a similar structured layout. Its rare that even big-business professional websites even do this.

One of the problems I found was that, with RSD 2.5's mobile-first working, it was the lowest viewport's settings that were picked up by the browser's printing facilities. A post about how I overcame this is here.
