Thanks, but the example I listed (wanting to link to a specific location, not printing) was just that - an example. I find that there are many things that IMHO should be "obvious" yet there is no obvious way to do them. This is my primary frustration.

Googling "how to do X" results in the old way which no longer works. This is my secondary frustration.

For 3rd-party posts there's not much Google can do about this (besides avoiding major UI changes), but I'm often frustrated by finding the wild-goose-chase obsolete information actually located on google.com, in un-updated help pages. One thing they could do to at least make it easier for people to recognize that is to date help pages with the last-updated date, so I can tell at a glance whether a given page is from 2014 or 2010.
