On my website I want a button that does the following:
1) A new window is opened in which the content of the website is displayed in a way it can be printed. I.e. all unnecessary content is left out, and everything is properly positioned. (by creating a print.css-file I guess)
2) The print-control is automatically opened, so all I have to do to print is to press the button 'print'.

What's the decent way to do this?!

Thanks!!
I'm trying to set up my print-page now. Maybe I'll come back for some more of your helpful answers!

Hi

You need to define a print media type

Here is some code to do it directly in the skin.css instead of external file

/* print media section */
@media print
{
  
/*
============
css for printing
============
*/


this is automatically detected byt the browser so when you press the standard print button in browser it prints using this stylesheet
#logo
{
    display: none;
}

#loginlinks
{
    display: none;
}


/* close @media print */
}
