Hmm. The news sites do a bang-up job of producing a printer-friendly pages that
are HTML (I'm thinking particularly of the Washington Post and WorldNetDaily).

It's undoubtedly another "designer competency" thing, but I've yet to see a
website with a "printer friendly" button that produced a printout fit for
anything but a single page. HTML is great for browsing through a manual online,
especially if there are a lot of illustrations, but for printing I want a format
that has "printy things," like page numbers, chapter headers, TOCs and indices,
and for saving a document to my drive for offline viewing, I want a document in
a single file that I can easily download, move from place to place or send to
someone else in email, not a directory full of individual page and image files.
