Hello

I need to know if there is a way to grey out printing for a specific web
page. For ex. If I created a web page for someone and I didn't want them to
print out certain info on a specific page, can the printer icon be disabled?

Thanks for you help.

I don't think there's a way to do that, but it wouldn't help if you good.
If someone can see the page, they can print it, as a graphic image if
nothing else.
 
Anything that you code into the page can be bypassed simply by placing your
site in the restricted zone.

Also, by using a programme such as Snagit, an entire page can be captured as
a graphic and then printed.

In short, you can't. The best thing to do is to provide the 'certain info'
as a security protected PDF.
