Yes, I'm just ticked off by the internet printing!

Why is it that every time you click to print one page, you always get an
extra page of 1 or two pages with nothing on it? It always prints just an
extra web address info or something that you didn't ask for. So from a pack
of 500 pagers you get 250 or less pages with the stuff you originally
wanted.

This is so costly and such a huge waste of paper, it is ridiculous. Can you
imagine how much money we could save if pages were printing only the info
you asked to be printed? I think this problem should be addressed and
revised. You ask to print 4 pages and get 8 or more? That is so stupid..

Where can we address these issues to save an extra million pages of paper?
Would you agree with me?

Have a nice day, MrGrey.

I suspect that by 'internet printing' you actually mean 'printing web
pages that I can see in my web browser'.  There is probably an option
somewhere in the 'print' options for your web browser where you can
'preview' the pages that could be sent to your printer, and choose which of
them to print; often, just 'page 1' is enough.

Just familiarise yourself with the various options and setting in whatever
software it is that you are using.

Now, what is this to do with photography?  ;))

Left click and drag to highlight the info on the page you wish to print.
Then click "file" and select "print".  In the box that opens select
"selection" and it will only print the highlighted info.

Dear Mr. Grey:  I don't get extra pages but to answer your question, you can
do this.  When you see a web page you want to print, go up to "FILE" and
after clicking "SAVE AS" the box will ask how you want to save it.  Save it
as a "TXT" file and that will only save the print.  Then you can open that
in your word processing program and print it from there. (You can delete
some of it or reformat it just like any text.)  On my Epson printer, and
most likely any late model printer, it lists the pages that it will print.
That is in HTML or TXT or whatever.  I can remove the ones I don't want.
Many times the last page is just a list of sources or junk you don't need.
I tell the printer to not print those pages.  I waste very little paper.
Ric in Wisconsin.
