Google-chrome – How to print unprintable web pages

firefoxgoogle-chromeinternet explorerprintingwebpage

I want to print out a web page that seems to be unprintable in both Firefox and Chrome.

It is multiple pages but when I print it out in Firefox and Chrome, they only print the first page. The only way I have found to print out the page is to print it in IE in XPS Document Writer format.

Is there a way to do this in Firefox or Chrome?

As said in my comment, browsers have a problem to print web pages which contain multiple frames and will only print as long as all frames are visible.

To print a single (longer) frame, you have to tell the browser to print it without the others. You can do so by rightclicking into the frame you want to print and choose "Current Frame" -> "Print Frame" (text might vary for other browsers than Firefox)

The way I do it:

Print all web pages to separate PDFs (single page per sheet!)
Use pdftk to join the PDFs: pdftk print1.pdf print2.pdf cat output out.pdf
Use a PDF viewer to print out.pdf with 4 pages per sheet

It's a little bit cumbersome, but it works.

In Chrome, open the console by pressing Ctrl + Shift + J. In the console, type the following and hit Enter.

document.body.contentEditable = true;
document.designMode = 'on';

This will make the page editable and the built-in spell checker of Chrome will be able to highlight anything misspelled.
