[RESOLVED] Disallow Printing

[BrailleSchool]

I am using PHP in my site for the majority of my pages. I would like to know if there is a way to not allow printing of the pages either using CTRL+P or going into the File menu of a Web browser (including saving of the pages to disk). Please advise if this is at all possible. Thanks in advance.

Would you like to prevent screenshots as well?

In other words, it's not at all possible.

Not possible. How do you except to control a user's computer with a web page? Seriously, even if there was a way to do this, I'd hate everyone who did it.

There is no point it not allowing printing. It's not benefiting you and it certianly isn't benifiting the user.

Why would you want to do this?

The easiest way to prevent printing is to not sendthem the page

In your stylesheet,

@media print {
                     BODY {
                                display:none;
                              }
                   }
