This is yet another idea for making WordPress more accessible.
A simple way for a visually impaired user to make a web page easier to access, either directly or through a screen reader, is to simplify the web site. The easiest way to remove clutter is often to find the printer-friendly version. These print this page links remove headers, sidebars and visually-distracting ads. The text is allowed to flow across the entire width of the screen, taking advantage of the increased legibility of enlarged text in widescreen monitors.
I am not alone in this. Some has psoted a WordPress Idea for a Printer Friendly Button.
This would work so that clicking on a post, or a page, or a section, or even the whole blog, could be output as a printer-friendly document for backup or other purposes.
There is a plugin called WP-Print that implements this concept. Problematically, WP-Print is not so easy to install and set up. I also can’t see how to use it to print categories or the whole blog. It has taken me a while to figure out how to get it working on this blog.
Too few use WP-Print. Having a built-in print option throughout the blog, be it on pages, posts, archives, categories, etc., would be a significant accessibility improvement for WordPress readers. If you agree, please visit WordPress Ideas – Printer Friendly Button and vote for it.
