I've been thinking about incorporating this feature in my new site? How difficult is this? Where could I go to find out more information or for a tutorial?
this is possible, although a
littlejavascripting is required.
the button i told you about, askes what page he is supposed to print. you tell him the path to the file that contains only the text.
the user hits print, and off it goes.
If you wish to use ASP to do this you can find a simple script to do it on almost every ASP help page. You can also use XML and CSS to create a printable page. A another option is to pass a query tag of print=yes to your page and use the language of your choice to build the page dynamically whether it sees that tag or not.

If you the developer want to make it simple for the user then why have them remember file names? Why not instead just have a link that says "Print Page" then when they print it just prints the way you want it to? If they are updating their own page how difficult is it to say "If you want a print page link add this code <a href='printpage.asp'>Print Page</a>".
If you want a very simple ASP solution then just email me and I will show you how to create a template that supports both screen display and printing.
