This script adds class names and IDs to a lot of the elements in the 'printer-friendly' receipt page. It doesn't make any visible changes itself, but you can more easily apply custom stylesheets (or additional Greasemonkey scripts) to customise it to suit your needs.
I've created some example stylesheets to show you the sorts of things you can do with this script. If you're writing your own stylesheets, then have a look at the page guide. If you don't know anything about CSS, talk to your local web page geek and see what they can do for you.
You might also like to refer to my notes on the Page Setup settings in Firefox, which can be used to customise the printed version of the page.
- Install Firefox and Greasemonkey if you haven't already got them. You'll need to restart Firefox after installing Greasemonkey.
- Once Greasemonkey is installed and running, follow this link (or click on the orange "install" button above).
- The printable receipt enhancer script will be downloaded, and Greasemonkey will ask if you want to install it. Assuming you trust me, click "Install".
If you want to configure this script to automatically apply some style rules to customise the page, then do the followng:
- Go to a printer-friendly receipt page.
- Click on Tools > Greasemonkey > User Script Commands > Configure printer-friendly styles:
- A box will pop up on the screen:
- Enter the URL of a stylesheet and/or some CSS style rules in the relevant boxes, and click on "save".
- The script will load the new rules and apply them. You can edit them at any time by following these steps.
If you want to temporarily disable your style settings, then:
- Go to a printer-friendly receipt page.
- Click on Tools > Greasemonkey > User Script Commands > Enable/disable styles:
- The styles will be turned off.
- Do the same thing again to turn them back on.
