Supposedly, creating an account will allow downloading but I do not ever desire to have an account with such organizations. However, in these cases the option to "Print to PDF" can usually save the day. But there still may be problems. Many sub-threads can be concealed (javascript again!) and these have to be manually opened before saving as a PDF. The web is -- or at least used to be -- all about disseminating information and who would not ever want to make a permanent local copy of such information. Yet many web sites seem to be designed without any regard for clean downloading. University/academic web sites do actually create PDF files of their web pages to facilitate downloading but most other sites do not. Web downloading is absolutely essential. The web site that you visit today may be gone tomorrow. Whenever I encounter an interesting site I will download immediately because I know that sooner or later it will disappear. My storage media are filled with sites that used to exist but are no longer available. > > I haven't printed in a while. > If necessary, just take a USB to one the local printing shops. -- Systemd: solving all the problems that you never knew you had.
