Normally, you can print a webpage by just using the menu File - Print of your browser. This kind of printing method will print everything, including the advertisement which you don't need at all. However, you may copy the webpage first, then paste it on a word processor like Microsoft Word. After that, remove the advertisement and other elements that you don't want to print. This is usually done to get a neat document and also to save ink and paper.
Well, you can also use an add-on called CLIPMARK for Firefox which lets you decide what to print. A bit like making clippings before printing. This is actually another easier manual way of getting what you print first. Still not very convenient cause it requires a lot of work in marking the area.
So, is there an easier way to remove those unnecessary elements automatically and then print it directly to printer neatly? Yes, there is. You can use Print Friend website to help you print all the text neatly on a paper, so that you can save paper and ink. It's so easy to use this service. But it focuses mainly on text printing and some images.
Here are the steps in using Print Friendly to print a webpage easily
1. Paste the url of the webpage on the Print Friendly website.
2. Then click Print Preview.
3. You can highlight the text you want to remove
4. Then click Delete to remove the unwanted text.
5. You can also choose not to print the images.
6. Adjust the text size to smaller size if you want to save paper and ink
7. When you're done, click the print button to print it directly
8. Or you can save it to PDF or e-mail it.
If you still find that it's troublesome to do copy and paste of the webpage url, you can still add the Print Friendly button to your browser. It can be used for 4 browsers only: Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
You may also add a Print Friendly button to your website / blog if you want to let your reader print your articles. Copy the HTML code and paste it as a gadget in your website / blog.
Still don't understand? Here's a video tutorial on how to use Print Friendly to print your webpage easily.

Simple and useful tips for buying a printer
Some people think that using a printer is easy but choosing a right printer that suits your need is not easy. There are so many printer manufacturers although there are only a few popular ones like Epson, Canon and HP. The following are some tips for you to consider when buying a printer.
1. Think about budget and needs when you buy the printer.
2. How often do you print? If you seldom print, you probably don't really need an expensive printer that can print in huge quantity.
3. Notice the "ppm" when you need the speed of the printer.
4. Also see the "dpi" or the printing resolution if you want to print photos. But this doesn't really matter, cause most printers nowadays can print photos quite well when you use photo paper.
5. Ask someone who is more experienced in using printer to go along with you when buying printer.
6. Avoid (or never) buy a second-hand printer. It's a matter about the print head.
7. When testing the printer, try not only the nozzle check, but try printing color boxes (especially if you are so keen in buying a second-hand printer). You may use "Print Screen of Paint color toolbox".
8. Don't forget to ask for the USB cable and printer power cable if they are not included in the box.
9. Avoid buying multi-functioned printer unless you really need it.
10. After buying the printer, remember to keep the driver CD well.
Hmm, I think these are only some tips. Perhaps you have more experience with printers. Why not share with me?

Paper just won't go through printer
Sometimes, if you buy too thin inkjet paper or low quality printer paper, especially those paper which is not manufactured by company like Epson, Canon or HP, you'll sometimes find that the paper just won't go throught the printer.
I met this problem many times when using this kind of paper with Epson printer. And I usually hold the paper and push it to help it go through the printer manually. Printing on low quality inkjet paper, sometimes needs patient. And sometimes, using this holding and pushing method will drive you crazy cause for printing a few pages only will take up to 30 minutes or more. It's different from printing on plain paper because inkjet paper has a special coated side. And perhaps that's the disadvantage of low priced paper.
To solve this problem, besides holding and pushing, we can also put thick paper or card board to support the paper back. I mean put it in front of the upper supporting tray. And so that the paper will be push to front a bit. This also cause the paper to stand up a little more. This is a new tip I just found. If this won't work, you can also try bending the part of paper that will first go into the printer. Hope these tips help a little and work as the solution.

What to do when paper jammed?
Paper jam in the printer do occasionally happens. When this happen, all you have to do is to take out the jammed paper (perhaps with the help of the RESUME button after turning off and on again). After the jammed paper is taken out, sometimes if the paper is torn a bit, some small pieces left by the jammed paper will be stucked in the roller.
To remove the stucked pieces, simply put a thicker paper on the tray and press RESUME BUTTON. The paper will go inside (like ready to print. But stop at the roller). Press RESUME button again to let the paper out. By doing this you'll find the small pieces of paper stucked in the roller will be pushed out by the double RESUME actions.
If the paper jam doesn't leave any torn paper inside, you don't have to do this. Just pull the paper slowly (never use force) or use the RESUME button.

How to make printing run faster?
Printing can be an easy job if everything goes smoothly, but sometimes it runs very slowly. There are some reasons:
1. Insufficient memory
2. Limited free space on harddisk
3. System infected by virus/worm/trojan or spyware
4. Printing too large file.
Then what's the solution?
You can increase your computer memory, delete some unused files on your harddisk, run defragmenter, scan for viruses and lastly convert your files to another format and try again. These are common solutions to slow printing problem.
