I dunno when and why this option appears
That's the Reader View mode icon. It's not expressly designed for printing. If it provides a better and more simplified printout that's rather more a side-effect. Its principle function is just to make the essential page text more readable and with some options for changing the fonts and backgrounds to aid with visual impairments. I don't know the criteria for how and when that appears and whether developers can disable it. Tip: it's less and less commonly the case, but occasionally you can use that mode to get around paywalls and show the hidden text otherwise withheld on the standard layout. Developers have cottoned on to that though so it doesn't work so often as it used to. To return to the topic, in my own examples, on the problematic pages such as those of my bank, there is sometimes a 'printable page' option provided by the website, but even then the same critical elements are missing. gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
