Be aware that print css can actually be very, very powerful... setting
the visibility of items in particular can be really useful. You can
have, for example, a print-friendly black and white version of your
logo that is set to display:none in your normal css, and display:block
in your print css. And you can hide all your navigation and other
stuff that's unnecessary in a hard copy in the print css, but display
some useful information like the URL of the current page. All without
creating separate pages that people may accidnetally link to instead
of your normal page.

The only issue you may have is that people look for a print-friendly
link because they don't know about print css. To get around this
problem I sometimes make a JavaScript document.print() link for the
"print this page" link (the link itself created with document.write so
if JavaScript is disabled the user doesn't know it was ever there).
