I'd save printed paper for the planet...
I'd:
* buy a $50 10" or such android tablet
* open the order page
* use "Show temporary checkboxes" at the bottom of the page, and check
them when the lot picking is done...
Or something like this.
Otherwise, use BrickStore - it's I guess the first time I talk about this?
No idea what sellers can do not using BrickStore, it still puzzles me

I must admit it's VERY complicated.
But making paper isn't clean, and I guess things made for a single use (or
used once) are always most expensive than any other solution. But this is IMHO.

so save trees by using less printer paper but keep selling an oil derivative
(LEGO if oil derivative was too subtle) packed inside more oil derivatives (ziplocs,
bubble mailers) or tree carcasses (boxes) in addition to buying a device that
is built by exploited children and uses earth precious minerals to power and
delude myself into thinking that I'm environmentally friendly.
or not be a hypocrite and admit that non of what we do here is good for the environment,
We're just trying to support our crew.
Please pardon my facetiousness.

1) I'm environment fine with LEGO. I started this Shop while selling Technic
Bricks I played with 20 years before, in pristine condition. Parts can be used
hundreds, thousands of time on 1 or 2 or more generations. I'm fine with
using a small drop of oil if it's so many usages.
At the contrary to gas, for instance, which requires far higher quantities (SUVs...)
and for a single unique usage.
2) Printing has a high environment cost.
Paper, but also don't forget the cost of the Printer itself and the one of
Ink Cartridges in plastic sold in plastic blisters (or Toner, bad also).
I proposed you to completely replace the printer and all cartridges by a tablet.
I recommend you this lecture:

| I've done my Nubs_Select asking chatGPT:
When considering the environmental impact of the two solutions (printing orders
versus using a tablet), several factors come into play. Here are some considerations
for both options:
Printing Orders:
Paper Usage: Printing orders consumes paper, which contributes to deforestation,
energy consumption, and water usage in the paper production process.
Ink or Toner Cartridges: The production and disposal of ink or toner
cartridges contribute to environmental impact. Manufacturing cartridges can involve
the use of non-renewable resources and energy.
Waste Generation: Printed pages generate waste, and the disposal of paper
and cartridges can contribute to landfill waste.
Tablet Usage:
Electronic Waste: Tablets have a production environmental cost, including
the extraction of raw materials, energy consumption during manufacturing, and
electronic waste when the device reaches the end of its life.
Energy Consumption: Tablets require electricity to operate. If the tablet
needs frequent charging, it contributes to energy consumption, which may be sourced
from non-renewable energy.
Recommendations:
Consider the Tablet: Generally, using a tablet may be more environmentally
friendly, especially if the tablet is used for multiple purposes and has a longer
lifespan. Tablets can be reused for various tasks, reducing the overall environmental
impact per use.
Eco-friendly Paper and Ink: If you choose to print orders, consider using
recycled paper and environmentally friendly ink or toner cartridges. Some manufacturers
offer eco-friendly options.
Energy Efficiency: Ensure that the tablet is energy-efficient, and consider
using renewable energy sources to charge it.
In summary, while both options have environmental costs, using a tablet might
be more sustainable in the long run, especially if the device has a longer lifespan
and can be used for multiple tasks.
However, it's crucial to consider the energy efficiency of the tablet and
to minimize electronic waste by properly disposing of or recycling devices when
they reach the end of their life.
If you choose to print orders, opt for eco-friendly paper and ink options to
reduce the environmental impact.
I'm very happy that seems to correspond to the vision I've about this.

There is not just the environmental issue but also cost of postage issue. When
I was buying more regularly I stopped buying from one seller due to this. I had
a couple of orders where I was being charged higher and in one case significantly
higher postage costs because of all the extra single sided, large print pieces
of paper that they insisted on sending even though they went straight in the
bin (recycling).

This is a workaround (of course) but doable if you're used to working with
HTML. Not sure if it works on Safari or Firefox, but I've done it on Chrome.
Right click on the order number and choose Inspect. You should see something
like this (see image below). Right click on the DIV tag immediately under the
CENTER tag and choose "Delete Element".
This will delete the header line and it won't show when you print (at least
it doesn't in the preview).

This was the most useful answer to remove the header but unfortunately didn't
impact the print margins (tried zooming- didn't work.
unfortunately, this is also not sustainable to preform on every order, specially
monday mornings with a list of 50+ orders.
Really appreciate the effort and attempt at helping and also the fact that you
stuck to answering the actual question.
Best wishes and thanks again.

I know I didn't stuck to the question:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem
The actual problem is that you use page printed from BrickLink to prepare your
orders.
There are 2 solutions here, the second being free and easy, even easier than
opening a BrickLink order page!

True.
But then printed:
* For accounting? Make a PDF.
* To include in the orders? I'd say don't (paper env. cost + extra gas
to travel + shipping fees rate may increase...). I'd say 95% of them aren't
read or kept, and go straight to the garbage
And if printing is necessary, then BrickStore allows a much denser printing (ex:
30 lots per page!) in a nice grid, the columns you wish (using templates of columns
and sorting you wish), etc.
But as OP wish, I've nothing to sell here.

It would first be helpful to know what browser you are using. You will have to
use either Opera, Chrome, or Firefox browsers to fix your margin issue.
Here is your solution Heartbricker.
Download ublock origin extension (this is a web browser addon)
1.) Highlight the element on the page you want to remove.
2.) Right click and select block element in menu. (see picture 1)
3.) Click on create to block element (See picture 2)
This will work on every order, so you don't have to do it every time.

| That was helpful!
I used to enlarge the printing size (sometimes to 200%) and select 2 pages per
sheet to save paper on some orders while still making the print readable. This
no longer possible as the text is now pushed off the page. Is there an easy
way to do this again?

The issue is a line of code that is built into Bricklink. This line can be edited
manually, but that would be a headache on every order.
I'm confused by what exactly you are asking so here are a couple examples.
Here is an example of full screen print (Picture 1)
This is the Google Chrome solution:
Steps
1.) Download and Install Print Edit WE (Extension for Chrome) (See Picture 2)
2.) Right click on the order and select from the menu "Print Edit WE"---
"Start Editing" (See Picture 3)
3.) Click Web Style Button on Top (See Picture 4)
4.) Hit Control-P (or whatever button you use normally to print) and
5.) Click on more settings in the right print dialogue bar. Set scaling to custom
and increase so that it fills up the screen (mine is 170% yours may be different).
Check button "Print on both sides". (See Picture 5)
6.) Print
Chrome will save your scaling settings, so if you need to print something normal
you can switch the box back to default scale.
This sounds complicated, but once you set it up it is 2 extra clicks per order.
--------
Here is an example of 2 pages per sheet, double sided, zoomed in 140%. (See
Picture 6)
Steps
1.) Follow steps 1,2,3 and 4 from previous example
2.) Under more settings, select under pages per sheet, "2", set scale
to "custom" and adjust appropriately (mine is set at 140%, yours may
be different). (See Picture 7)
3.) Print
With the second option, Chrome doesn't save the pages per sheet, so you will
have to adjust it for each order.

Yeah! Worked! unfortunately the background is not optimized for a standard copy
paper which blows my theory that the headers were the culprits out of the water.

You guys are a large enough store that you should be using the API. Make your
own pick lists for staff, controlling what you want to display, and even arranging
items in pick order based on your shelves/bins so staff start at one end and
finish at the other without going back and forth.
