Fireshot Pro works by installing a Helper.exe instead of using some Netscape API??? This seems to cause it to bypass the Chrome Print Preview and use its far less well spec'ed printing interface that can't span the image over more than 1 page etc, etc
I have asked Nimbus and Fireshot if they can help me achieve what I need. Nimbus has said they will upgrade their extension "soon". I am waiting on an answer from Fireshot - but either way they are far more complex than I need.
I need an extension that apes CTRL+P as close as humanly possible, with the only difference being that it must be WYSIWYG (print out exactly the same way it shows on the screen - "What You See Is What You Get")
I would prefer it if Chrome did this natively. I can't understand why the image on the printer is so often so different to the screen.
