Printing and Printing Multiple Boards

It would be great if there was a print ready page for games in progress.  Currently to print a game I normally click on Analyze, then ensuring that background print is enabled, print only first page.  On printed page, board takes up the whole page, really killing my ink in my printer and taking long time to print.  I would prefer the ability to print multiple boards at once, maybe six per page.  Before going to work I like to print out the games I want and then decide on my moves during my breaks.

It'll take a little elbow grease, but you could use alt-print screen to get a screen shot, and then paste it into paint (or word to make arranging a breeze), crop and scale it down, and arrange a pageful of smaller boards manually.

It's a bit more of a pain than clicking on a button here would be, but it could save you ink for now...

That's true, it would give me a little more flexibility (and save ink), but normally the reason why I need to print is because I don't have a lot of time to spend at the computer and I want to be able to think about my moves later.

I second this. I'd like to be able to do a "quick print" of the current board position of all the games in which it's my turn (perhaps 9 or 12 to a page). Grab it off the printer, and head for lunch to review.

This would be a fantastic addition to the site, and I don't think it would be much work.  

Especially great if there was an option to display it in a black/white printer friendly view with greyscale or other light shading.

 

Any chance of this seeing the light of day?
