There's also the Firefox option of typing "shift+F2" and then typing the
following command into the Firefox command line interface:
screenshot --clipboard --fullpage


I get the options, but no "INIT" button to press. Nothing is
copied to the clipboard.
Anything I type after the line errors out as "not a number".
It would be useful for those pages that have anti-print
scripts in them (Some I can't print with doPDF).

What page are you trying to print?
The rest of us can try it.

See also (from googling):
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/web_site_screenshot.html
https://www.tekrevue.com/tip/save-webpage-as-image/
http://web-capture.net/
http://superuser.com/questions/49744...bpage-as-image
http://www.print-driver.com/how-to/s...-jpeg#section2
etc.

Let us know if any of these work for you, but it's important to let us know
the web page you're using as a test page because we can then test it
ourselves.


I can print this with doPDF:
http://tecnologia.ig.com.br/2016-06-...diferenca.html

but not this:

http://ultimosegundo.ig.com.br/polit...juiz-moro.html

Tried with Firefox's developer tool, does not work at all, will not
accept "--" . Nir's utility works, but layout is distorted (much too
high vs width).

Details ?

Which menu or menus ?

Is this an optional plugin you download
or something built-in to 2.8.16.

I could find reference to an old plugin,
where someone had managed to find the
original source and archive it, before
it was lost. That's an example of a more
obscure route.

I wouldn't ask this question, except in a
quick scan, I don't see a menu item.

I think some would disagree with your "easily".

Layer|Transform|Arbitrary Rotation


Which is fine for *manual* correction of rotation,
but is not completely automated. For example, if
you're scanning a 50 sheet document, you don't have
an autofeeder, you place the sheets on the platen
and each time, they're off a bit, you want an
automatic corrector.

It's possible an older plugin does just that.
