Make every web page printer-friendly.

What we've acquired with the electronic age is an unquenchable thirst for printing. The bigger the online archives the more we print. I think no PDAs or TabletPCs will change this trend.

You found an article online and want to print it to nicely punch thee holes on the side and store it with other useful stuff. Almost every site nowadays provides a printer-friendly page of this and that, but some sites don't and you're still stuck with staring at their printed navigation bar, footer, ads, etc, for ever and ever. All this online decor means nothing on paper. This article describes a simple strategy to strip page parts that are irrelevant for print.

Its all with CSS. The CSS standard defines a number of media types like screen and print (I got it here for the first time). We can play around these tags to achieve what it says in the topic.
