Has anyone out there found a way or program to print tabs off the net that doesn't involve spending a 1/2 hour formatting for word or notepad? Even taborama which had a print friendly button often breaks lines over a page selection.

You'd have better luck with a Tab program. Powertab looks amazing when you print it, just like actual sheet music.
(I know, not exactly what you were looking for, but worth a mention)
Check out this web site:
They have a lot of the tabs on there already formatted pretty well. There are plenty that are not, but I've found this site has cut down my editing time. They also have the chord diagrams for all of the formatted ones.
see ya,

If you plant ice, you're gonna harvest wind.
I think the trick is to make sure you are using a fixed width font like Courier. I just past them into word and select all then switch the font. Only thing I ever have to manually futz with is if the page breaks on the middle of a line.
Well thanks for the adice. I tried chordie.com and it is better than most but of course it limit me to downloading tabs from one site.
I never thought about fixed font widths before although it makes sense. Ill give that a try.
Thanks

well the fixed tab width worked like a charm.
Thanks a bunch

Happy to help
Here's a page with some Blank Tabs, Staff, and chord images that print out well. Other folks have said they print great. If they don't let me know and I make the necessary adjustments.
Scales, chords, staff, tabs, and stuff
