I would Copy/Paste.
I have never found printing web pages to be wholly satisfactory, for any web site, so if I ever needed to I would copy/paste text into my word processor, or if I am not too concerned with formatting, into Notepad.
But lets see what others here say.
"conscious intentional decision"? I strongly doubt it, but then I am just a volunteer here, so who am I to say otherwise?

I have used a lot of forums and yours is the least friendly that remember ever seeing, especially in that it somehow prohibits any use of the normal print functions of Windows, let alone that you don't provide a print-friendly button to make it easy as many others are now doing. I like your other sites, in some cases despite some problems, but I cannot say that about your forums. If you are testing some changes to the forums as one clue I found indicates, then this is an area literally crying out to be addressed. Of course, I can always use the printscreen function or a screen capture program, but the point is that I shouldn't have to and newbies won't know how to. In case you are so dense that you don't know why people need to print out your forum pages, all I can say is that you must have someone else to do all your computer work for you, because it is essential in many, many cases to turn off Windows or even the computer itself in order to follow the steps necessary to fix the problem that is addressed by the computer, and in order to remember all the steps and do them in the right order, the most logical thing to do and be efficient (and not go back to horse and buggy days--oops, I said buggy--I hope it's just a bug that is causing this problem and not a conscious intentional decision on your part to prevent printing of forum comments, which after all usually come from a third party and so are hard to understand why you should so jealously guard them against normal printing when so many other forums do not.) Well, I've said enough, and probably made a grammatical mistake or two, but I hope I at least made my point. The question then becomes how you will decide to respond to it.
