Is there a way to prevent a visitor to a website from printing certain pages using javascript or another method? Please do not recommend "no right-clicks" or anything like that. Any help towards a solution would be appreciated.

Nope, you cannot control the user's browser. And if there was a way to disable print and you did it, your users would be very, very cross.

There's a very simple method that doesn't use JavaScript, but it would be very much like giving the user the single finger salute.

And how would that be?

Charles, can you please send me in a certain direction to be able to do this. This is very only a couple pages and I definitely understand the concepts behind web development and author-client relationships. I just want to prevent a page from being printed temporarily if possible.
