Hi Jay,

The Times at least does one thing that I find helpful.  The URL they
attach for all their printer friendly story versions is predictable.  I
actually have a JAWS script I use that adds this string to the address and
loads the printer friendly version of a story with one keystroke.

I attached the following to a key in the browseui.jss file.  This isn't
fancy and doesn't do any error checking for things like list links
present.  But it quickly pulls up the printer version of most NY Times
stories.

ScreenEcho ()
ScreenEcho ()
{alt+d}{End}
TypeString ("?pagewanted=print")
{Enter}ScreenEcho ()
