#13 Todd's Tuesday Tech Tip: Print Friendly

Dear Colleagues,

Today's tech tip is one I absolutely adore.  How many times have you been on a web page and wished you could print it out but get rid of all that pesky navigation or even ads?  For me, it happens daily.  Well, today's tip is perfect for this!  

If you are not using Chrome, this tool won't work for you.  I've switched to Chrome to take advantage of the interconnectivity of Google Gmail, and Google Drive.  I would recommend switching over to it if you haven't.   


Print Friendly is an extension for Chrome.  This is essentially like an app that gets integrated into the Chrome browser.  A tiny green icon will appear up in your toolbar of Chrome.  Then, when you are ready to print it, a dialogue box will show up.  This is really where the 'magic' happens with this tool.  It will allow you to remove images, ads, navigations, change the text size and much more. 






I hope you find this useful.

Todd
