I’d like to print this [site](http://sdldoc.csn.ul.ie) (a reference guide) as a single continuous document, pretty much in the order in which it appears. I believe it’s only 3 - 4 layers deep. Is there an easy way to do it?
Thanks

😕
Why can’t you just select Print from the File menu? It takes 19 pages of 8.5x11 paper.

Unfortunately that doesn’t print the entire site, just the front page.

That only gets the table of contents (the first page) - I want to get all of the linked docs for about 4 layers.
Sorry for the lack of clarity. Or am I missing something incredibly simple?

Oh, **beelzebubba** wants to print all the pages _linked to_ from that page?
I have never heard of an easy way to do that. The only way I can even think of doing it would be to right click on all the links, save the targets to a folder on your hard drive, then write a batch file to copy all the files— err, I mean, highlight all the files in the folder and click print.
Sorry, my DOS started slipping out a little there. 😃

I didn’t mean to sound snotty by referring to you in the third person, **Beelebubba**. Your second post wasn’t there when I started typing.

I think that you could copy the main page and modify the HTML to pull the link contents onto the main page and then print that. I don’t know if you would consider that an “easy way to do it”.

That’s quite a string of posts there **Knead** - I think it’s time you stepped away from the keyboard 😉
I was afraid it would involve fiddlin’ with every link. Oh well - thanks anyway

No.
You can get a site leecher to suck down all the HTML files, but AFAIK you have to do the rest by hand.
