 * Thank you for your great service. Your plugin makes my website look good on 8.5
   x 11″ paper. One question: can you intercept the browser’s built-in Print command?
   I have tested it in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, all on OS X 10.6.8. I imagine
   this could be accomplished with some Javascript, right?
 * Thanks!

 * JavaScript cannot be used to intercept built-in browser commands AFAIK. However,
   a browser plugin or extension can have this kind of control.
 * Let me know if you hear anything different.
 * Best,

 * Thank you for “confirming” this, especially so quickly; my solution was to both
   use printfriendly and a set of CSS print directives, modified from the [Styling for Print](http://codex.wordpress.org/Styling_for_Print)
   WordPress codex article. Same here, please let me know if you learn more. Feel
   free to mark this as resolved.
