Why can’t I print a page the same as
is shown online? Does everything have to be so flippin’ complicated? All that
coding and creating an additional css file. What for?
* The only way I can print this page as shown is to use Photoshop and take a picture
of it.
* I followed the instructions given on [http://codex.wordpress.org/Styling_for_Print#Print_Style_Example](http://codex.wordpress.org/Styling_for_Print#Print_Style_Example)
and still the damn thing looks the same.

* Hi there, you could always try printing as a .pdf file. I find this really useful,
you can get a free copy of Do Pdf at this address.Basically its just a printer
driver that you can select when you want a hard copy, to save as a file.

* That won’t really help because it will still be formatted as if it were being
printed.
* erika you said you followed the directions but I didn’t see anywhere you had
added the print sytle sheet. If you want to have your blog printed exactly like
you see it on screen try this. In your header edit this
* ```
```
* Change it to this.
* ```
```
* Then in your stylesheet at the bottom. Add this.
* ```
/* Print Style Sheet */
@media print {
copy all of your styles in between these brackets
}
```

* I think I gave you the wrong website. It should be
[http://tacp.ca](http://tacp.ca)
Sorry. But, come to think of it, all my sites have the sane problem.
* Now, I will follow your instructions for tacp.ca

The following is my header:
* ” /> ” /> ” /
> ” /> ” />
* ” />
* /print.css” />
*
” title=””>

* I do have a print.css stylesheet and here it is:
/* Print Style Sheet */ [@media](https://wordpress.org/support/users/media/)
print { body { background:white; color:black; margin:0 } } #header { display:
block }
* #functions {
display:block }
* #single {
display:block }
* #404 {
display:block }
* page-links {
display:block }
* #sidebar {
display:block }
* #search {
display:block }
* #page {
display:block }
* #archives {
display:block }
* #author {
display:block }
* #page-archives {
display:block }
* #comments {
display:block }
* #footer {
display:block }
* #index {
display:block }
* #contact {
display:block }
* OK, I thought I followed the instructions quite well but what you told me to
put in Header, I can’t find what it is I’m supposed to change.
