Is it possible to have different tabs print with different page setups.
I would like to use specific page setup parameters (under the File menu) for printing from a particular web site, but those parameters do not work well for printing from other web sites. I would like to be able to specify different page setup parameters for each open tab. Is this possible?

I'm not aware of any built-in way to do this.
In case it inspires any thoughts, what are the normal parameters vs. page-specific parameters, primarily margins?
That might be possible via a GreaseMonkey user script, by setting the @include address to a specific domain.

This is an example of a script I found a few years ago to bypass a fault in Firefox when printing the Courier font.
// ==UserScript== // @name Fix Courier Bug // @namespace http://userscripts.org // @description Replaces "Courier" with "Courier New" font // @author Dan // @include * // ==/UserScript== var elementList = document.getElementsByTagName('*'); for (var i = elementList.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) { var elementItem = elementList[i]; var ff = getComputedStyle(elementItem, '').fontFamily; var oldff=ff; ff = ff.replace('Courier New', '1234567890qwertyFONT'); ff = ff.replace('Courier', 'Courier New'); ff = ff.replace('1234567890qwertyFONT','Courier New'); elementItem.style.fontFamily = ff;
Sorry, I can't help you with writing a script.
The standard parameters are 100% and all margins at .5 inches.
Is there a way to open 2 different Mozilla browsers at the same time, each opening different web sites with different page parameters?
Also, do you know how I can make Mozilla open automatically when my computer boots?
Hi MartyCohen, what would the parameters be for the site that needs different parameters?
One way to start a program automatically is to place a shortcut in the Startup folder. I found a Windows Vista/Windows 7 help article on this, but I think the procedure in XP is almost identical.
