Use CSS to Prevent Printing
Tuesday August 26, 2008
People focus a lot on making Web pages printer friendly but what if you don't want people to print your Web pages. Maybe you have images you don't want printed or you want your content viewed on the Web and nowhere else. While it's not 100% effective, you can make it difficult for most people to print your pages with just one line of CSS.

I use CSS to format the pages that need to be printed. I block out the links, background and items that really shouldn’t be printed. Then I format the page to print out in a manner that that person can use.
