PrintLink is a Firefox extension that adds a hotkey (Ctrl+Shift+V) to Firefox. This shortcut opens the printer-friendly version of a page (if it exists).
PrintLink is coded to be as adaptive as possible in finding the link and redirecting the current page. However, if it is unable to find such a page or it is horribly mired in Javascript (e.g. CNN uses a service called Clickability which requires a "partnerID"), it will simply execute the link or the onClick Javascript.
In short: this extension will hopefully open the print view of a given website in the same tab or worst case: in a popup.
Let me know if you have any bugs / problems / comments / suggestions either in the comments or at: randomtechprojects at gmail.com
