I've discovered this thing that helps make the recipes found here more 'printer friendly'. Basically, it takes the first post only, but it breaks it down into just the text, or you can include images, but you can also delete sections. Like the extras in the same post that aren't really part of the recipe.
Go here:
Print Friendly & PDF
and you can drag a button to your bookmark bar so that when you're on a page you click the button and voila! It makes a printer friendly version of the page you're looking at. You can then print it, or just save it as a PDF.
The only downfall is that, like I said, it will only take the first post on the page if you're just looking through a thread. BUT if it's, say, post #10, you can click on the little #10 in the upper right corner of the post, and then print it from there.
Anyhoo... thought it could be useful.
