[gui-talk] Reading printer friendly web pages:

[Joel Deutsch]

Well, Albert, I have to admit I was being a little facetious, there, because 
it would have to be enormously important, the article, for me to go to so 
much trouble! I meant to be ironic, but I guess I didn't get that across 
very well. My fault for not choosing the words carefully enough.

But seriously, maybe we're both wrong and we've been missing a control 
that's often right there on such pages? I don't think so, because I think 
I've tried to figure it out before but failed. Nevertheless, who knows. 
maybe this one particular site you said you're concerned with actually does 
have a way to do that? I'm not pretending to know any more than you, though. 
I'm baffled, myself.

Joel, I'm coming to the same conclusion.  If the article were long enough or
important enough I'd set it up to print to file and scan the resulting pages
but rarely are these that important.

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
