Re: GZip + NS + Print = Trouble

Thanks for bringing up this solution. However... I already thought of this option myself. Problem, though, is that _ALL_ my pages should be printable. Maybe a very small number of pages will not have to be printable, but those are so small that the compression isn't realy necesary. Besides that I don't realy like sites that use separate 'printer-friendly' pages. When I'm looking at some page I just want to be able to print it rightaway. And I want to give my clients this opportunity to. That's why I also have a separate (extra/own) print-button on my sites. The user can just use that without realy having to know how the browser works (concerning printing). Because you will just not believe how 'stupid' some users are. But anyway... any other solutions are ofcourse _very_ much welcome and I'll keep y'all posted a.s.a. I get some more info about this subject.
