How About A "Print This Topic" Button?
just a button that opens another window with all of the replies for a topic (including the original post, of course) in a single scrollable page without all the buttons and wasted space for optimized printing on 8.5" x 11".
that would avoid the necessity to print separate pages of replies replete with all the buttons and ads
just a thought...

I would love that! There were many times I wanted to print a topic. It could work just like the printable view of the articles. Great idea!
