http://www.alistapart.com/articles/goingtoprint/ discusses how to achieve 
a print style by using no JavaScript and only fully-standard CSS.  I 
recommend it.  Here's the "snapshot" from the website:

 	Say no to “printer-friendly” versions and yes to printer-specific style
 	sheets. CSS expert Eric Meyer shows how to conceive and design print style
 	sheets that automatically format web content for off-screen delivery.
 	Includes tips on hiding inappropriate content, styling text for the
 	printer, and displaying the URL of every link on the page.
