The place where the plugin inserts the "Printer-friendly version" link is not a good choice. It intrudes too much on the text in that page. See the attached file for a screenshot. Or look at this page:

The link appears to be part of the text, which is confusing. There should be more space around the link, or it should be in a different place.

You can edit the css/printlinks.css file to costumize the links to suit your taste regarding the margins around the link.

As to the different place.. You chose to set it in the content area, so it will always be on the top area of the content, however you can choose to have it at the bottom 'links area' or simply use the provided block.

I have it in the links area but since the site is multilingual there is not enough space and the links with the images change line.
How could I use the css file you mention in order to make all print one line below the links?
What section of the css file should I change?
The img sections change only the images, not text.
Please help.

@agrigor1: the links area is managed by Drupal.. The only way I see of reducing the size of those links to make them all fit in one page is to reduce the text size. That would be handled by changing your theme's CSS.

One simple solution is to change this module's links to 'icon only'..

OK, top content area is fine, but how do I stop the text from "flowing" around it? That's the main issue.

I wish it would just sit on top, just below the title, and the content would begin below it. Can you suggest a change to printlinks.css to achieve that?

I don't have much time to tinker with the printlinks.css at the moment.

The maximum I can do to help you is to suggest editing the .print-link class and taking a look at the following pages:

http://www.w3schools.com/Css/pr_class_position.asp
http://www.w3schools.com/Css/pr_class_float.asp
http://www.w3schools.com/Css/css_reference.asp#margin

If you just want them below the title, I think that deleting the float, relative and bottom lines would do the trick.

I hope you manage to come up with something to suit your needs. When you do, please share it with everyone else here in this thread.

This is exactly how I want it:

Also see the attached screenshot.

I only modified .print-link in printlinks.css. It looks like this after the changes:

.print-link {
  display: block;
  text-align: right;
  padding-bottom: 10px;
}

Thanks for the suggestions!

This doesnt work for me possibly because its in the links area.
Is really drupal behavior or I should try to fix it in my theme style.css (secondary links perhaps?)
