Wouldn’t be setting up a proper print.css more logical instead? You can reduce and rearrange the images this way as well, as long as they’re properly marked with class names that make sense.

We all appreciate your willingness to pay, but it isn’t necessary. If you want a custom print “plugin”, it’s already implemented. If you want images to be reduced when printing, you can redefine the img tag and set width and height to some percentage, like 50%, and also define a min-width and a min-height. CSS is powerful and very easy to use.
So…. add this to print.css:
img {
width: 50%;
height: 50%;
min-width: 150px;
min-height: 150px;
}
Or something like that.
I actually want to do a lot more. I want to reduce the size of the content for print. Then divide it up into eight boxes (four rows and two columns), have the content rotated in a different direction, for print.
My intention is to create a special print copy that people could turn into a little booklet, or several little booklets depending on the amount of content.
Reducing the size of the content is also doable, using font-size: 50% or something like that. The 8-up printing is more of a challenge, though.
What OS are you using? At least on OSX, you can have the system print 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16 “pages” per sheet of paper; if you do that, then all you need to do is stick a “page-break-after:always” after each entry in your print stylesheet and hide everything outside the content; the OS will handle the rest. It’s not eight pages per sheet like you’d hoped (and it seems odd; why 6 and 9 but no 8?) but it would get the job done.
