Is there a way to set up printing an entire Facebook thread?

Using the print dialog, it seems to only grab with is available up to "Loading earlier messages" If one has 5000+ messages in one thread this can be a pain.

Is there a way to print or export this for easy reading?

Have to use the API to make a custom app for this. No other way. – Bibhas Apr 5 '12 at 18:43

Or use firefox with this extension. – Bibhas Apr 5 '12 at 18:45
The firefox extension is a possible answer – phwd♦ Apr 5 '12 at 18:54

The messages should all be present in the Download Your Information tool on Facebook, right? you could try that and see if it's easily printable – Igy May 8 '12 at 22:08

@Igy cool, well that sounds like a possible answer as long it's easily printable. If it is bundled in HTML I could change around the CSS to suit. Thanks, you could post that as answer or I could when I try it out, doesn't matter to me – phwd♦ May 8 '12 at 22:49

You can probably get the information you need from Facebook's 'Download your information' tool - this is accessed from the Account Settings page, via a link marked 'Download a copy of your Facebook data'

It takes a while, but the archive will include chat messages
