Just in case any of you aren't into CSS and have wanted to print some of the dev documents, such as the Library Tools doc, or the Basic Library docs, which are in HTML only:
The stylesheet for these documents defines the H2 heading style so that each heading begins on a new page...which gives you a lot of blank paper.
To save the environment and perhaps your reading sanity, you may want to open the stylesheet, which is in (example version/path):
LibDevTools_9_1810_Win/Tool/StyleLibrary/Style.css
and
BasicLibrary_9_1810_Win/StyleLibrary/Style.css
and find the code near the top that reads:
H2 { font-size: 130%; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: .6em; color : #003248; page-break-before: always; }and delete the page-break-before line.
These pages may be too wide to print in landscape mode still... truncates characters for some files - for example the library devkit Readme file. In this latter case, find the perl commands in the Examples sections and, in an editor, split them into two lines ... being set with <pre> and a fixed width font, they determine the minimal page (table) width.
Hope that's useful to someone else.

In these cases Firefox is significantly better at outputting more readable print than IEThis is a surprise? Is there anything IE is still good at compared to something else? (aside from propogation of undesirable executables).
