Print Webpages Better with Printliminator

Some of also use hotkey shortcuts like Ctrl+P to initiate the printing of a webpage. But these all actions result in the printing of all the items on a webpage – graphics, video placeholders, menus, advertising and more. The printing of such items is really unnecessary and it only increases the ink consumption of your inkjet printer or the toner consumption in the case of laser printers.
