I'm not sure whether you mean your own pages or customers
using your computers (or asking for your expertise) to print
other sites' pages.
If it's your equipment but external sites...we disabled
the print command in the dropdown menu in the browser and
made
the print preview both prominent (on the browser toolbar)
and
the only way to get to the print button on our public
research
machines. Control+p still works, but not everyone knows
keyboard
shortcuts.
The user at least theoretically sees what it's going to
look like
and has a chance to make adjustments before sending the
print job.
(Change margins, switch to landscape, or whatever.)
Some folks get frustrated because the print command isn't
where
they expect. And some don't look at the print preview
window or
don't think it's accurately showing what will print. As
with
anything, this method has its good and bad points.
