Printing Webpages (or saving them for later)

Like all good green-blooded citizens, I try to refrain from unnecessary printing; especially printing of webpages. Invariably, the three paragraph article I've intended to print spits out seven pages of additional and unwanted text from my printer.

No more. Joliprint to the rescue. Joliprint will take a web article, remove the unwanted sidebar info (links, advertisements) and save the copy as a PDF. You can then easily print the PDF, or you can save it for electronic reading later. The PDF can be saved directly to your Google Docs, downloaded, emailed, viewed online, or posted to Facebook or Twitter for sharing.

There are two options for using Joliprint: 1) download the add-on application. You'll have a button on your browser toolbar. Click the button to make the PDF. Or 2) just use the webpage interface. Bookmark joliprint.com and anytime you want to preserve or print a webpage, simply copy and paste the URL into the big blank on joliprint.com.
