Exactly what I needed! I love that this extension presents a "what you see is what you get" interface for controlling exactly what makes into into the final print dialog. I wanted something that would allow me to control the page-break behavior when printing Gmails to pdf. This extension was so intuitive and made this tass effortless - simply by selecting the desired "element," indicated by a clear red box as you hover within the interface, then selecting "Format" > "Page Break Before." I also loved that I could activate the print preview to check my progress along the way. And yes, they thankfully included an "Undo" button! Such a clever and useful tool, for which I am so grateful.

Works great, even without any instructions. At least for making a page print like it looks in a browser.
