My local Mac users group most times covers stuff that's so far above my head technically, it might as well be in orbit.
But today there was a very useful and understandable hint.
If you use Safari as your Mac browser, well, to print you have to click on "File" up top, then scroll down to "Print," then hit the Print button in the drop-down menu.
Until now.
1) In the Safari window, type the following: javascript:window.print()
2) A blue globe will appear to the left of the "address"
3) Drag the globe to your Bookmarks Bar
4) You'll be asked to name the bookmark
5) Type the word Print
6) As they say at Nextel: Done
Amazingly, it works.
Nicely bypasses the trip to the File menu and subsequent scrolldown/choosing maneuver
Waycool.

While this is somewhat neat, isn't just pressing Command-P, like every other app which follows the interface guidelines, easier and more efficient?
1) to print in Safari or other Mac browsers, or any application which supports printing, press Command (alt if you are using a Windoze keyboard) + P
2 - Prilski
you could just press CMD+P

True while Command + P works just fine, its not as easy for my 4 year old to print off coloring pages from Google Images. I named the shortcut my childs name (which she recognizes) and she is happy that she doesnt have to ask us.
