You then state that when you print out the map, you're missing tagged nodes and minor ways. However, you then stated that the map is too detailed if you zoom in to see the tagged nodes and minor ways, and print that out. If you want detail, then when you print out a map you'll get detail. If you don't want detail, then when you print out the map, it won't have detail. It's pretty hard have it both ways at once. It's a pretty tough task to print out a map without detail that still shows the details. If you take a look at a commercially available map, you'll find that there's most likely a map with low detail level that shows a large area, and then perhaps a smaller map on the back, or as an insert which shows a smaller area in higher detail in order to show the minor roads and such. That's the funny thing with that paper stuff... there's no zoom in/out buttons. Perhaps you're after something totally different.
