[gui-talk] Reading printer friendly web pages:

[Joel Deutsch]

Albert,

Personally, when that happens to me, I just accept that this is that site's 
way of doing things,. I hit escape and then try to navigate the basic page 
with all the Jaws commands I can think of. I don't like it, but I make do. 
The Huffington Post has a strange idiosyncrasy: They offer a Printer 
friendly link, but the page that loads contains what you'd properly call 
just an abstract of the article, with an invitation to back up and read the 
whole article. I still can't figure out what they think they're doing. But 
their site's a huge jungle of page elements for a Jaws user. I wonder if it 
makes easy sense to someone just looking at it.

Anyway, if someone finds a work around, cool. I sort of doubt anyone will, 
though. Those people don't want you to get a cleaned-up page you could read 
online. They just want to help you print it out. And then you could read it 
if you scanned it in Open Book or K-1000, that is... grin

Most of the time I can select the printer friendly formatted page from a web
site.  Often it's within a newspaper or magazine article.  However, from
time to time pressing the printer friendly icon brings up the same dialogue
I see if my printer were activated and I had to select the number of pages
and all that.  Does anyone know how to remedy this problem?  I always find
this to be the case with ZD Net and it never happens with the New York
times.  A work around would sure be nice.  thanks
