If I click on a print button on a web page, I expect to /see/ the printer-friendly version. If the button just pops up the browser's print dialog, my reaction is to wonder whether I'm really going to get a printer-friendly version. Am I out of touch/crazy/paranoid? > if there's a particular page that people are urged to > print, you can just include a button that calls upon the system's > printing mechanism, and you don't need a separate page Our goal is to make pages in general print-friendly, and to offer the print option for particularly print-oriented pages. When talking about the context of a web application that users will be [-come] familiar with, we might be able to make the assumption that they will learn that pages are printer-friendly by default, but I don't think you could assume that users at large would know that. Even a web-savvy user doesn't know ahead of time whether the page has a print stylesheet, unless it's by experience. Or is my experience out of touch with what others have observed?
