Printing Paywalled Sites (tabs.ultimate-guitar.com)

I'm trying to find an extension that will allow me to print pages such as the one I've linked. When I attempt to do so, the page goes black and I'm prevented from snagging the content. I've also tried screenshot tools, including a few grab & print style extensions. I've messed around with the inspector console, tried disabling javascript, more or less all of the things you might futz with to circumvent this. No joy.

Does anyone have a solution or tool they use for this? I'd like to have this on paper so I don't have to stare at a screen when I'm playing. (I'm a shit jazz musician and need tab. I blame rock and roll.)

Cheers!

Yup, and if you opened the webpage within a VM, you could easily screenshot it without the DRM blacking it out for you.

You're in a piracy community asking for tips on pirating content. If you're going to be an asshole when they're given to you; you're welcome to fuck off somewhere else.

Dude, I wasn't trying to be an ass. I was genuinely misunderstanding you. Opening a VM didn't make sense to me since it's far afield.

I have literally not been rude to anyone else in this thread, but your assumption was that I was being rude to you. I didn't understand what you meant.

Thanks for explaining.

The phrasing in your previous comment comes across very rude to someone that's just trying to provide a solution for you. There's better ways to ask for clarification.

I apologize if hostility was not your intention; but, food for thought.
