Is there a way to secure specific pages on a Frontpage site so that users are
not able to print them?
 
No.

No. This is not a FP issue, this applies to all sites.

Hi Sarah,

You can make it harder for users to print sections by adding a print
stylesheet, for example
<style type="text/css" media="print">
..noPrint{
display:none;
}
</style>
then give anything you don't want to print the class .noPrint
<p class="noPrint">this text won't print</p>
<p>this text will print</p>

Anyone that's savvy about web development will be able to get around this
but it should defeat your average user. It's not possible to do any more
than this, you can't truely secure anything you put on the web

Cheers,
Jon
