How to add a print option to your posts
I found a Wordpress plugin that allows me to offer a print option on every post. The plugin is called WPPrint and it’s free. I downloaded it from Lester Chan’s site at http://lesterchan.net/wordpress/readme/wp-print.html and uploaded it to my server. At first I installed it in the index php file as per the instructions, but didn’t like seeing print this post on the pages. I only wanted the print this option to appear within the post. So I moved the code to the single php file and it appeared exactly where I wanted it. In the Wordpress dashboard, under Options Print, you can do some configuration, including choosing to include comments, links and images, custom disclaimer or copyright text and selection of printer icon. If you want to see it in action, go over to my right sidebar on this blog and click on Fun, Crafts and Recipes. It’s one of my other sites and I post new recipes and the like every day. Now there’s a way for people to print the recipes and have them come out looking nice. Go check it out, it’s quite useful.

Not that I know of but I use Wordpress so cannot say for certain. I did a quick search for “blogger print post” and five pages deep still hadn’t found anything.
