ABSTRACT

Web content is notoriously difficult to capture on a printed page due to inconsistent and undesired results. Items that users may not want to print, such as media, navigation menus and more show up on their page. Other items that they may care about are truncated or spread across several pages. Some tools exist to help users with what is printed, but they often are cumbersome to use or are costly for a company to maintain. Therefore, we introduce PrintMonkey, which allows users to write their own printing templates and share them with others on the web. No modifications to the original webpages are required and users with less development experience can use and develop templates. A comparison with four alternative solutions reveals the concrete ways in which PrintMonkey improves upon existing approaches in terms of functionality, customizability and scalability.
