For WordPress users there's also several plugin options available if you're not so much of a programmer. Thanks for the detailed tutorial on creating the CSS for printer-friendly pages.

I understand the intent but not the method used. The Firefox error console balks at that call. I can't find a reference in CSS to the property display: visible Here's the CSS ref I found for the property 'display' which makes no reference to a 'visible' setting: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visuren.html#display-prop' I'm thinking that maybe there is a typo and that what is meant is the property 'visibility' http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visufx.html#visibility seems like it should be: visibility: visible !important if it's not a typo then I remain confused thanks.

I can’t find a reference in CSS to the property display: visible

Here’s the CSS ref I found for the property ‘display’ which makes no reference to a ‘visible’ setting:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visuren.html#display-prop‘

I’m thinking that maybe there is a typo and that what is meant is the property ‘visibility’
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visufx.html#visibility

seems like it should be:
visibility: visible !important

if it’s not a typo then I remain confused

The basic principle of this print setup is a switch that enables and disables visibility depending if you want the content to be viewed at print, at screen, or both. The one switch you are referring to is set to hidden on the screen and visible at print. This for instance can be a letterhead in place of the normal page header that is usually based for screen view. This switch will allow for different headers depending on a screen or print view. Hope this helps.... Hi Johny,

display: visible !important;

By default your browser stamps the page, URL, and title in the header and footer during the print. Is this what you are describing? If so I am not sure how you can edit this or if it is possible. All I do know is that these are generated by your web browser, so it may be able to be disabled in the browser.
