CSS makes it very straightforward to create web pages that can change appearance based on how they are viewed.

The main thing to keep in mind as you consider what it takes to make your pages more print-friendly are the limitations imposed by the medium.

Creating a second print-friendly page of a page on your site makes it easy for your visitor to print your page.

When creating a print-friendly version of your page you should consider removing the background image.

When creating a print-friendly version of your page you should consider changing text colors to black; it’s okay to have some color in the text but black is preferred.

When creating a print-friendly version of your page font size is important.

When creating a print-friendly version of your page you should consider removing link formatting or simply revert to a basic underline link.

When creating a print-friendly version of your page you should consider removing all nonessential images.

Additional information you may want to include on your print-friendly page are a byline with the author of the page, along with the URL for the page and copyright information.

It is possible to use a media specific style sheet to target a particular medium, such as a screen or printer for your pages.

You would use the <link /> tag to specify the type of medium to be used on your pages.

You can specify more than one media type for your web page.

Because you know that printed pages are a fixed size, it makes sense to use absolute positioning for all the elements on the printed page.

By using inches (in) instead of pixels (px) as a unit of measure for all of the absolute positioning on your print-friendly page, page layout becomes very straight forward.

Another consideration in print-friendly pages is to use an Adobe Acrobat PDF document for your visitors to print.
