I wanted to print an article I found on Wikipedia. I hovered over the words Print/export under the Tools tab. Those words were grayed out and inaccessible. "Now how do I get access to that?" I wondered as I looked to the upper corner and noticed the words Create account Log in. Great, so then I can print the article, right?

Wrong. The words Print/export are still grayed out and inaccessible. But just before I realized that I thought, wow.. what a great way to monetize Wikipedia. Charge to format and print articles for personal use. I love to sit and read on real paper. Especially with something like "Crisis of the Roman Republic". Something I would pour over and consume over time for reference and grasp. I'd pay ten to twenty cents a page to print that formatted my way. Lg times roman or school book. Or courier. Narrow margins to conserve paper. Black and white. Pictures optional to save ink. adjusted with titles and sections to conserve. My hard copy for me only.

I figure I'd spend fifty bucks a year printing articles from Wikipedia. Easy. And I wouldn't even feel it at ten to twenty cents per page throughout the year. How many people feel the same about it? I remember spending fifty cents to a dollar copying pages at the library two or three times a week just as a part of daily work or leisure interests for reference. Wikipedia to me is like that library only a million better. At my fingertips. Thank you Wikipedia. Now how do I print an article without using copy / paste?
