Name: Print module
Maintainer: Joao Ventura <joao at venturas dot org>
Author: Matt Westgate <drupal at asitis dot org>
********************************************************************
INSTALLATION:

1. Decompress the print-n.x-n.n.tar.gz file into your Drupal modules directory (usually sites/all/modules, see http://drupal.org/node/176044 for more information).

2. Enable the print module:
    Administer > Site building > Modules (admin/build/modules)

3. Configure access rules:
    Administer > User management > Access control (admin/user/access)

4. Configure:
    Administer > Site configuration > Printer-friendly (admin/settings/print)

********************************************************************
UPDATE:

When updating from a previous version, just remove the print directory and follow the instructions above. Make sure that you backup any costumization to the print.tpl.php and print.css files.

********************************************************************
ROBOTS:

Even though it is possible to set per-page robots settings, the following can be placed in your robots.txt file after the User-agent line to prevent search engines from even asking for the page:

Disallow: /print/

Also, for updates from older versions (<=4.7.x-1.0 and <=5.x-1.2) which used node/nnn/print instead of print/nnn, the following lines can prevent requests from Google for the obsolete print URLs:

Disallow: /*/print$

Note that pattern matching in robots.txt is a Google extension (see http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=40367 for more information).

********************************************************************
CUSTOMIZATION:

- To modify the template of printer friendly pages, simply edit the print.tpl.php or the print.css files found in this directory.

- It is possible to set per-content-type and/or theme-specific templates which are searched for in the following order:
  i. print.__node-type__.tpl.php in the theme directory
 ii. print.__node-type__.tpl.php in the module directory
iii. print.tpl.php in the theme directory
 iv. print.tpl.php in the module directory (supplied by the module)
