Even
with more Web sites offering printer-friendly buttons,
it's still easy to waste a lot of ink trying to print
from the Web. Hewlett-Packard's free Smart Web
Printing software lets you print only the parts of a
Web page you want. You don't need an HP printer and
the software works with both Internet Explorer (6.0 or
higher) and Firefox (version 2 only). The software
only works on Windows computers.
1. Go
to snipurl.com/2eq4a and click on "Free
download." Scroll down and click on
"Download only" and follow the instructions
to download and install the program.
2.
After it's finished installing, launch your Internet
browser.
3. The
next time you want to print something from a Web site,
click on the HP Smart Web Printing icon at the top of
your browser. Then click and drag your cursor over the
area you want to print. When you are finished, release
your cursor.
4. You
will then be given a few options for what to do with
the area of the Web page you just selected. You can
choose to print your clip, or, if you choose to
"clip" your selection, it will be saved in
your "ClipBook," which you can access at any
time.
5. The
selections you add to your ClipBook can be printed or
edited by choosing "ClipBook" from the
drop-down menu next to the Smart Web Printing icon in
your browser.
