    This is cool service and better than PrintFriendly which restricts content by copyright, which is bad.

    First of all it is free, also it is very user friendly. It does what it advertises, fast and powerful. Out of the other options i tried, Print What You Like seems to be the best among them.

    Discontinued

    CleanPrint seems to be discontinued at this time (June 18, 2018). The page to download/install the aplet loads slooowly and then doesn't work properly, and the company & contact phone numbers listed by FormatDynamics are "not in service at this time." Sad, because when CP was working it was good.
