Whenever i plan to take a Print Out i get worried that the Browser would require more than 2-3 pages for Printing, while the content whose print out i need is not more than half a page in size. This means that its a total waste of resources while taking print out of everything major part of which is not really required. Next i would move to available options like PrintWhatYouLike.com which again wont be working perfectly always. Also these kind of tools would ask us to manually do some steps in order to remove the website’s navigation menu, graphics, advertisements etc which can be a tedious job and also can break the look.
Here is another excellent solution for all this, which is in the form of a Bookmarklet called as ‘Clippable’ which you can drag and drop on your Bookmarks Section and click on it whenever you want to run it. You can download it from Readability Website. Now lets see how this is going to work by comparing the results on one of my recent posts on Find Lost Apple iPhone.
Here is a Screenshot of how the Print Out would have come if its normally taken :

Now once you click on the clippable Bookmarklet you will find the same web page to be instantly edited automatically as shown below.

Hence, this is a excellent simple tool which can help you in making webpages neat with focus only on the content part removing other useless stuff on a click.
I have used Printwhatyoulike and liked the way it removes all the ads and stuff, and limits the printing part to just the text and main things that need to be printed.
