printing

So adding some javascript to add a Print button to SharePoint was easy enough. But did you notice the print out is in a minuscule 8-point font? The older generation of team mates are complaining about this. Of course, there’s a fix by adding a print.css style sheet.

But then you need to learn about SharePoint Master Pages, editing, and applying new Master Pages in SharePoint Designer. Oh wait, the bigger text font isn’t enough? Need to hide other display elements like headers and buttons? Then you need to further customize the print.css file. You might as well start referencing the W3C Cascading Style Sheet 2.1 specification.

Now how do I get rid of that blank first page that keeps printing out?!?!
