The tool that generates a printable page using the printer icon (removes all CMS page templating) should also wrap the page in a div with id="printable". Right now, the printable version looses most of the css styling, including fonts, so it's not very attractive. Wrapping in an id would allow print-specific styling.

Just add

<link rel="stylesheet"   type="text/css"   media="...print" href="print.css" />


on the head

and put the print css you want (if you have a css at hand, please share it, I'm sure you're not the only one needing it;)

yeah...

maybe I'm just weird like this, but since the printable pages open in another window, I feel like they should visually look like how they'll print. handling the print version through css media option only kicks in when it's actually printed. it would still display on screen with the ugly formatting.

i'm a bit of a css control freak.
