Hi Leo,

If you create a print.css and link your pages to it, you should be able to
control which elements are visible and which ones aren't in the print out.

However, you would normally want a clean text-only, but well styled print
option. This helps to create a nice paper publication while saving on ink by
focusing on content and eliminating images which are there purely for design
and getting rid of unwanted navigation menus which serve no purpose in the
paper publication.

It may be worthwhile mentioning to your client the reason behind having a
mostly text only print option. Images which relate to the article should be
kept, and if the company wants their logo to appear somewhere you can style
that in with the print.css, but make it invisible in the web version. There
isn't much reason to have all the images and navigation appear on the print
out, unless your client needs them for some particular reason.

Hopefully this answers your question!

Jason
