Redirects to printer friendly pages if it can find one. A printer icon appears in the corner of such pages. Clicking it turns on the redirect. Clicking again turns it off. Printer friendly pages are cleaner than articles and not on multiple pages. |

When it detects that there is a printer friendly version to a page, a small printer is displayed in the top right, which is clickable to change the preference so it will go to the printer friendly page automatically. Similarly, when on a printer friendly page, the printer is displayed and is clickable to disable the preference to redirect for that website in the future.
The size of the printer icon is customisable, just look at the top few lines of code for details of how to change it.
