Masking SSN on "Print Form"

Is there a way mask SSNs when doing a Print Form other than saving it as a PDF and then printing the PDF? We print pages for internal use, and it doesn't make sense to have scads of papers with people's SSNs lying about when we just need the pages to review and cross-check other data on the forms.  

Thanks in advance.

    Not from the "print form" button, no.

    The way I'd do this is change your process to using the general "print [tax return]" function/button up top left, select the "Partial Return" radio button, and then check the box(es) for the form(s) you want to print, and there's a "mask SSN" checkbox at the bottom of that print dialogue window.

    Heavy sigh - I thought that would be it. Extra steps and printing pages I don't need. I guess this is one for the suggestion box rather than question box.
