I have had this problem, so here is a solution....
A guide how to set this up is all in the doc below, you only need to add the special tags to your phpWCMS template and you are away...with your own print solution.
hope this helps those who need to get round this problem.

Code: Select all
<html>
<head>
<title>Print version</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<link href="own.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

it to be the start of printer friendly content, and <!-- stopprint --> goes at the end
of that same content.
3. You place a link to phprint.php anywhere on the HTML page (preferably outside the printed content,
like this: <a href="/phprint.php">Print this page</a>
