How do I add a printer friendly hyperlink FrontPage?

[Joe]

I would like to include a printer friendly hyperlink on my page to avoid
reformatting the current content if possible.

Can I add such a link via FrontPage 2003? if yes, how is this achieve?

Thanks in advance.

You add it like any other link and point it at your printer friendly
version of the page.

I think the OP meant this "How do I make a link to print the page".

<a href="#" onclick='print.this();'>Print this page</a>

or

<a href="#" onclick='print.this();'><img src="images/yourimage.jpg"></a>

or <form>
<input type="button" onclick="print.this();"
</form>

or use the browers "Print" Button, and forget the above since they may or
may not work in browsers other than IE.

If the OP means "how do I make a print-friendly page" - then make the page
up with 'bare bones' text only within a table, test that it prints in a
relatively acceptable fashion, link to it and publish the page and the one
it links from.

You could also try something as simple as providing a text file with a copy
of the html/text. so it can be opened in Notepad or a Macintosh or Linux
equivalent editor.

I think if a person doesn't know how to print a page, a link isn't
going to be a lot of help. My 6 year old grandson knows how to print
anything he sees on the screen.

The OP's question wasn't "how do I print a page".

My reply was just to clarify the question, that's all\

Jens Peter Karlsen [FP-MVP], said in his reply, to make a printer friendly
page, and to link to it, but the OP asked "how to make a link *to print the
page* which I interpreted as what I replied in my original reply. In
otherwords to make the browser do the same action as clicking the print
button on the tool bar, or File > print.
