Shopper's "print" invoice button should print an invoice, not the browser page. Formatting a wide website pushes info off the paper.
The shopper invoice should be as easily editable as if it was an other print template.
Just the facts, m'am. |

+1 on that
I wonder if there is away to direct or focus the print command to only print the #maincontent

You can format the print out with a print stylesheet to isolate what you want printed. Most commonly named print.css
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="SOURCE/URL/print.css" /> |

Merging Cliff's post. No, you don't want to grab a separate page to print, since all the info you need is right there. The admin invoice uses a print stylesheet, so you may be able to use that as a reference (but probably not). But it's pretty easy if you've worked with your own stylesheet before, just make sure to use media="print" to tell the browser to use that stylesheet for printing, like this: Originally Posted by: "Somebody"  <link rel="stylesheet" type"text/css" href="print.css" media="print" />
You could even use your current stylesheet without messing with any other pages by using @media, for example:
@media print {
#Header, #Footer { display: none; }
}
Just put the print-specific rules in there, or even import a separate print stylesheet using your main screen stylesheet, like this:
@import url(print.css) print
I haven't tested any of this in BV yet, but they should work as long as nothing is interfering. 1st question. How do I attach the "print button" to the link ?
