[#18789] - What to display when printing?

- # 18789
A general question for both 3.8 and 4.0 frontend template... what should be displayed when printing a page via the browser? Currently everything which doesn't really make for a very readable page.
- Hide every link been appended with a URL? Wikipedia for example hides this.
- Should all modules be displayed? It is possible to show/hide with a module class.
- Remove layout styling? Eg borders
- Just display the page title and component area?
- A pointless question considering there is an action for this (./templates/protostar/component.php)?
Current...
The 4.0 template currently has some larger print issues.

Joomla 3.x has a feature freeze and Joomla 4.0 has removed the specific printing button. Defining a print view with that falls under the duty of the template designer/site integrator. Thus this issue is not one of the Joomla project anymore. I would like to ask to close this one.

Agree with Brian here. Actually with removing the print thing we should have a print.css that probably removes all modules and just prints the main content of the page (i.e. a version of the component.php layout).
Is it too late to do this?
Could someone please change the tag on this from J3 to J4

This are things should be done for display when printing
1:Hide unnecessary elements
2:Remove unnecessary styling
3:Display only relevant content
4:Provide a print-friendly layout: Creating a separate stylesheet for printing can help to optimize the layout and styling for printed pages.
i want to contribute on this issue but i am confused after cloning ,i have open the template file and again in the template file there is two files "autm" and "system" .so where should i made my print.css
@Mohammadkhan18 sorry for taking so long to answer. We are here talking about the frontend template Cassiopeia. On a clon of Joomla you will find the assets in the build folder: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/tree/4.4-dev/build/media_source/templates/site/cassiopeia/scss
I have no clue about the content part, my only suggestion/proposal is to not load this mostly unneeded css file in the head (optimally it should be loaded async after page complete, eg through js with a fallback inside a noscript tag)
