Printing of forum content

[CODE3]

I have been trying to research this issue, but have not been able to come up with an answer.

Is there any way to prevent users from printing content from a forum or website?

Reason being, some people have been printing content and using it as ammunition to get others in trouble. The content they are printing is not derogatory, harassing, hateful, profane, etc It is just a matter of personal opinions.

Same with anything on the internet, if its there, it can be got at.

Even if there was a way to stop browsers pritning, or copying and pasting, screenshots could still be taken, or alternte browsers used etc

If its something you wouldnt want others to see, never put it online to begin with

You could replace the print icon with a 1*1 transparent gif. But that is not a very secure method

I was talking about print in the browser

They could still got File->Print

Yer, but if they use the print button on the board its self, it can be replaced by a 1*1. But of course there are simple ways round it

All that does is format the page a little bit more presentable for printing, it doesnt actully start pritning or anything
