Re: [support] how to make form print on less paper

Oh I don't know. If the email is an html email then there's no reason why it wouldn't you just have to make sure that the print css is in the email. If it's a plain text email then thare won't be any effect. Sorry, I missed the emailing part.

Will the print css output to the email? The form submission is emailed to someone and then they print it.

That's quite simple actually and has nothing to do with drupal.  Create
a print css file and include that.  set display:none on any element you
don't need and do any other tweaks you need to get it looking right.
Use the media attribute:
<style type="text/css" media="Print"></style>
OR
<link rel="Stylesheet" href="print.css" media="Print" />

You can set it as the main css file while you're working on it so that
you don't waste tons of paper seeing how it looks, then switch it ot the
print one when it's right.

Whenever anyone clicks print it will use that css instead.  I include it
on almost all of my sites.
