School librarians everywhere deal with students (and others) who use reams of paper when printing information from the web. Many web sites don’t have a printer-friendly option and a lot of those printouts are taken up by ads, graphics and formatting that the student doesn’t need.

Enter PrintWhatYouLike, a “free web page editor that gives you control over how web pages look when printed” and has the following features:

• Edit any public page in your browser – no installation required!
• Change page font size and type, remove the background, and remove images
• Edit any part of the page by clicking a page element or selecting text
• Any selection can be removed, isolated or widened
• All changes are undoable
• Combine multiple web pages together – edit and print them as one document!

Looks like a really handy tool for those who want to save money paper, ink, and the environment.
