I like to do both - make a php-driven print version page that people can see
and manually print (you could use the onload of that page to trigger
window.print() but imho that's very annoying) *and* use print-css to define
what happens if they just print the page anyway.
If you do it like
@media screen {
... all your screen CSS
}
@media print {
... all your print CSS
}
then it's easy to develop - you just swap over the media declarations so you
can see it while you test it, then swap them back. And this snippet does
me well for element print control:
img { display:none; }
img.print { display:inline; }
.noprint { display:none; }
So from that you have:
<img> - doesn't print
<img class="print"> - does print where normally it wouldn't
<element class="noprint"> - doesn't print where normally it would
