How to Enable Print in Print Disabled Web Pages?

Few days ago one of my friend asked me how can I enable print in print disable web pages. I thought his question is pretty interesting. So in this post I am going to tell you about some simple methods to enable print in print disabled web pages. 
1. Copy-Paste Method:
Of course it is very easy method known to almost everyone. Simply copy the contents of print disabled page by pressing “Ctrl+A” keys together to select all text and press “Ctrl+C” to copy the content to your clipboard. Then open word processor (like Microsoft word or open office) or any text editor and press “Ctrl+V” to paste that selected content. Now you can easily print the document from your word processor or text editor.

2. Print Screen Method:
Print Screen Key is used to take screenshot of your desktop. Press the “prt scr” button if the web page you want to print fits in a single browser window and does not require scrolling. Now open the word processor and press the “Ctrl+v” to paste screen shot in your word processor. Now you can print the screenshot from your word processor easily.
3. Disable JavaScript Method:
JavaScript is behind almost every print-disabled web page. It actually disable print commands. If you want to print such pages you have to disable JavaScript. (JavaScript is a browser-based programming language). There are slight different options for different browser.
For Chrome
Got to Settings> Show advanced settings. Under Privacy section you will find Content Settings. Click on it. New window will pop-up where you will find JavaScript section now simply select ‘Do not allow any site to run JavaScript’ and finally restart your browser.
(Note: After printing pages don’t forget to change the option again)
For Internet Explorer
Go to Tools>Internet Options.Now Click the tab marked Security> Custom Level and scroll to the part of the list marked “Scripting.” Click “Disable.” Then restart your browser.
4. Remove JavaScript Method:
Save the complete web page by right clicking and using ‘save as’ option. Now open that html file in any text editor. Press Ctrl+F to find ‘) and save the html page by pressing ‘Ctrl+S’. Now you can print the content.
