I think that it would be useful for banners to print because:

1. The page title is not displayed particularly clearly, making it hard to find 
the right printout in a pile.
2. Printouts should generally match what is seen online, as this is what most 
readers expect.
3. For many smaller pages the banner is either the only picture, or is the only 
one showing a particular type of image.
4. Banners are a distinctive feature of Wikivoyage. It would be helpful to have 
them on printouts passed around or put up on notice boards. This would help to 
"advertise" Wikivoyage.

I can see that we migh have wanted banners not to print when they were first 
introduced, as most pages would have the default grey banner, which would not 
be a good use of ink. Now a third of articles have custom banners, and I think 
most printouts will be of articles with custom banners.

If there are difficulties printing as a banner sized to fit the page, it could 
be printed at a fixed size (e.g 525 x 75 or 350 x 50)
