Print Post and Page

Notice: This Plugin is no longer being actively developed or maintained. At the moment, we believe it to be fairly stable but that might not continue with future WordPress versions. We recommend you looks for an alternative plugin. This plugin is likely to be deleted from the WordPress plugin directory late 2018 / early 2019. Printer Friendly Strips theme styling from post and page content while retaining any plugin CSS to allow Shortcode content to be printed as it's displayed. This is to save printer ink and only print the post content in a user friendly way. Printing Posts After installing the plugin simply go to the setting page and tick the active box. This will add the print icon to all posts, allowing for a very quick installation. Configure the color and sizing options to get the print icon and text looking as you want it to. Now when someone clicks the print button it'll open a print dialog to allow the post to be printed. To disable the print button on specific posts, simply find the post and edit it. In the post edit screen there will be a new box added to the bottom right of the page to disable the print icon for this post. Printing Pages Unlike posts, with pages you have to add a shortcode [printicon align="left"] to the pages that you want the print icon to be displayed on. This has the option of align to align the icon either 'left' or 'right'. The shortcode itself can be added before or after the content to place it and gets its color and sizing from the setting menu. Customize the Icon When the plugin is activated it will a menu to the admin side menu called 'Print'. In this menu you can set the icon size, change the icon color, set the text label as well as changing alignment and placement. The print icon used is part of Font Awesome. PLEASE NOTE This plugin uses session storage to store a local copy of the article that a user is reading. This is done purely to store a printer friendly version of the article which can be used for printing. It cannot be used to indenify the user, and is automatically removed when the browser is closed. There may be slight differences in printout between browsers. There's no standardized print functionality, so all browsers interpret the document differently.
