OK, A'Gon/guys: I like to print the odd thread but

Great point Lugnut. By the way, you can also copy the thread onto your word processing program. This may allow for an even greater amount of flexibility to edit the content prior to printing.

Like lugnut I just copy and paste into a Word document. You can edit it, make notes about it, save it as a file and it makes printing easy.

When in brouser click on TOOLS - INTERNET OPTIONS - ADVANCED - find PRINTING options and unselect "Print background colors and images".
Good luck.

Just one more possibility: If you want to print the thread as is: When the printer dialogue box comes up just choose printing to be done in black (& white) only. The yellow will become a light grey.

I forgot one the most handy things about using Word as above. You can copy and paste the url address of the information and save it in the Word document too. The link will be live in the Word doc.(easiest way to make it a live link is to put cursor at end of address and hit "enter") If you want to go back to the source of the info this makes it very easy. Just click and you're there. You never lose online sources of info this way and have that "I wonder where that came from" trouble.

My record for this kind of online file is a 200 page online outline of tube electronics. I have a condensed version of about 30 pages. It is basically a collection of links/articles on diy tube electronics. If anyone is going down that path it might be helpful. Drop me an email I'll send you a copy.
