Printee for IE in Action
For demonstration purposes, we visited the Accelerators Page for Internet Explorer 8. Observe the webpage's initial appearance before utilizing Printee. Notice the extraneous content present on both sides of the text area and at the top of the page.
To activate Printee’s functionality, simply click the Printee Toolbar Button.
Here's a detailed view of the left side of the toolbar.
And a view of the right side of the toolbar.
Now, refine the webpage for printing! As you move your mouse across the page, orange box outlines will appear around different sections. Click within an outlined area to select it, which will then be highlighted in green.
Once you've selected the desired areas, choose the appropriate action from the Printee Toolbar.
Continue this process until the webpage is formatted precisely as you want it for printing. In our example, we removed all elements outside the text area and eliminated the background, resulting in a clean and print-ready page!
