</span>I've done some exploring with the CSS solution, and thought I'd share my<br>
thoughts, although they're incomplete at this time.<br>
<br>
I had some success so far with making the following changes to CSS<br>
(which I would expect to be reflected in a print stylesheet, which<br>
should be loaded after the other stylesheets to override any duplicated<br>
directives). There are obviously some unwanted elements remaining, but<br>
this looks like the beginnings of a decent print view.<br>
<br>
Note that for development purposes, I like to leave the "print"<br>
stylesheet set for screen display, that way I can view what it will look<br>
like without constantly going to the print preview feature of my<br>
browser. Once it looks good on my screen, I set the stylesheet to @media<br>
print{} and check it in the actual print preview. It's not a sure thing<br>
of how it will look when rendered for printing, but helps me get close<br>
without wasting a lot of time in the print dialog.<br>
