How best to print depends a bit on whether you are using a Mac or PC, Firefox or Internet Explorer, and printing modules or discussions. Basically, the best strategy is to right-click on the main content you want to print (or Control-click on a Mac) and choose the option from the contextual menu that opens the main content frame in a new window. That will get rid of the navigation buttons on the left and title frame along the top of the page. In the new window, click on any links to navigate to the material you want to print and print it.

Depending on the browser you are using, you may be able to print the whole content section or may prefer to click and drag over a portion of the content and print the selection. Using your browser's Print Preview button can help you to anticipate whether blank pages will be printed and allow you to skip printing those pages. Below are some more specific instructions:
