Printing information from web pages has always been a hassle.  You find a web page with some information you want to print out so you click on the printer icon in your browser.  Instead of the page or two that you expected to come out of the printer, you get 14 pages of complete randomness with your information sprinkled in.  12 pages go in the trash, your wallet gets a little lighter from the paper and toner that just went down the drain, and a few trees scream somewhere off in the distance.  If you are like me, you avoid printing from the web so you can escape this hassle and waste.  That was, until the introduction of PrintWhatYouLike.com!

PrintWhatYouLike.com was created by two developers who shared our frustrations with printing from the web and decided to do something about it.  The PrintWhatYouLike tool comes in several forms (listed below) and provides users the ability to choose what elements of a web page they want to print before the information is transmitted to their printer.  Print a single paragraph, an article, an image or several pages of information.  It is entirely up to you.  This truly amazing service is provided to you for FREE, so there is no reason not to start using it today.
