Is there a recommended script for Printing the Page that will work nicely on the Weblog when it is on the “more” page or full article?

Thanks, Pat smile

The easiest thing to do (generally) is to simply create a “Print Stylesheet”.  Basically, it’s just a separate stylesheet designed to style your site for printing.  It could use different fonts, colors, etc.  It could use the ‘display: none” CSS to hide portions of the page.

You can find plenty of information in a quick Google search.  In particular, I would check out the Going to Print article at ‘A List Apart’.  This A Print CSS Primer looks decent, too.
