Yes, I agree totally, and I was drawn to Drupal for not only its power
and customizability, but also for the people that develop it. They're
a fine bunch.

It is fairly simple to make a print.css stylesheet that hides the
navigation. Properly linked to the generated pages by your theme, a
modern browser will use that stylesheet when printing. See, for
