If you use Firefox or Mozilla to browse, you can see what the page
looks like with no CSS, which is often a good preview of what
you'll see in Plucker.

View->Page Style->No Style

Doesn't Plucker mostly ignore CSS? So if the page uses only CSS
to create its printer-friendly page, Plucker will probably see the
same thing as it does for the normal page? But most sites I use that
have "printer friendly" pages use completely different HTML, which
omit a lot of the ads and navigation sidebars and such (making them
much more friendly for reading on a PDA ... or even in a browser).
