Re: Can I Prohibit Printing From A Web Site?

[Holger Gremminger <hgremminger -at- gmx -dot- de>]

Hi!

Two ways:

You can use PDF-documents for the site. They can be locked against printing.

Or you can make the background of the pages black and the text white. Then
it is still possible to copy and paste it into Word and print it, but you get
a plain white paper when printing out directly from the webpage.
