Hi All, does anyone know if it is possible to record the number of times that people print from my site? I have a seperate Print.css file but am not sure if this records a 'hit' when the page is viewed on screen, or only when printed?

I have full website tracking software but css files are currently excluded from the results. To include them I will need to change some options and it will then re-build the database which takes hours, so thought I would ask here first!

Any thoughts appreciated.

All referenced files will be read regardless. I don't know of a way to parse out the print action.

The file has to be downloaded with the web page so that it is available if the person decides to print. There is no way of detecting if someone actually does print your page. They may not even be online still when they do so.

Thanks Guys, now that you explain it like that I suppose it does make sense.:)
