StackPrinter: The Stack Exchange Printer Suite

##UPDATE: Version 0.9.2: Added StackAuth support!

Judging from the stats, i'm pretty satisfied to see people using StackPrinter; there's still people printing on paper or saving questions in pdf like me (Ereader users).
If you have in mind some feature-requests for StackPrinter, feel free to comment this post or drop me an email.

StackPrinter is a website that pulls the main details of a given question, all its answers, comments and votes formatting them in a simple essential printable view.

I've created this micro web application basically to add a "Printer-Friendly" feature to the Stack Exchange Network sites, trying to remove some @Media Print CSS limitations like hidden comments, pagination and empty spaces. (rationale here)

Other features:

  • Addons:
    1. Greasemonkey script - Adds a Printer-Friendly button on question's page (FF|Chrome)
    2. Bookmarklet - Allows you to print a question directly from question's page
  • Favorites: lets you browse and print favorites users's questions from:
    1. The Stack Exchange Network
    2. Delicious social bookmarking
  • TopVoted: lets you browse and print the top voted questions by tags
