# Print Settings in WordPress Websites

While your WordPress website may not be printed often, you can help the visitors that do want to print articles and offer them a few settings. Without styling, the printed page may have a weird layout and use all the colors of your blog. This isn’t ideal for printing purposes.

## Print Friendly and PDF Button

The WordPress plugin [Print Friendly and PDF Button](http://wordpress.org/plugins/printfriendly/ "Print Friendly and PDF Button") will make quick work of displaying your website content in a printer friendly mode when a visitor clicks the printer button on your site.

Instead, I have a printer button set inside [Jetpack’s](http://jetpack.me "Jetpack") sharing icons (see the bottom of this post). When visitors click that printer icon, they will be presented with a printer friendly page.

## Printer Friendly Settings for Visitors

When a visitor prints the page, they will have a choice to disable images on your posts and omit some content from printing. From this same location they can create a pdf of your post.
