Is there such thing as a "print mode" in CSS? Basically, I want to make all the edit I want to make so that the print preview looks the way I want it to look without having to alter the website I want making changes to.

  • You can add CSS styles that only show when printing using `@media print`. See the link above. While it describes a more specific application (specifically, hiding elements), the concept is the same. – Chris Laplante Aug 30 '13 at 23:44

Use @media print or @import 'someurl.css' print.

Yes, certainly if you use the print media type when you write your stylesheets, that should work.

See here: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_mediatypes.asp

In theory, you can write a whole CSS stylesheet for print and have it look completely different to the screen media type.
