There is a few PHP (and php+perl/etc) things out there that do html to
pdf but none of them are quite right. One will find that they need to
spend a lot of time tweaking their output and if you are printing with
complex floats even add additional markup to compensate for bugs. So
thats not quite a good option yet either.

The preview looks decent but the php causes my browser to tell me that
'the page was replaced while you were trying to print it'...
Google uses a similar process to decent effect - the same policy of
just printing the main frame content with the logo and title pasted in
at the top.
I suspect the best way to create serious (from a design-for-print
standpoint) web-to-print systems is to install a php-based pdf
generator, because at the end of the day no matter how sophisticated
web technologies get, printing from within the browser is always going
to leave a world's worth of factors out of your control. I believe
Adobe have a very nice system based on this principle.
Had a fun experience recently when developing my own print stylesheet
whereby my overflow:hidden properties caused the print to be limited
to one page no matter what.

Hi,
After browsing some favored CSS sites, some by Standards
Evangelist, there seems to be a decline in the use of print styles.
Has some movement escaped my research?
Decline? There are only two truly decent print styles I've ever
seen, ala and bbc news. Every wonderful article I've ever read about
print styles is all but illegible in physical form. It's a shame
because if I know I'm going to be reading for over 3 minutes I far
prefer to have physical copy.
I would love to hear of other well-printed sites though. I strongly
believe in css for print but have seen far too few good examples of it.
Regards,
Barney
