Even if we all agreed to make sites printable you would never be happy with it. Right now certain CSS rules such as "float" can not be applied to print. This means you can not do any advanced layouts without totally redoing your HTML.

It is far more important to have a site mobile compatible than print compatible which again will probably cause some HTML refactoring. So more websites are going to worry about being mobile compatible and not waste their time on print.

The percentage of people who print a site is so negotiable, that like mcmillion said you would be better served supporting IE6. This combined with the fact that print versions can not match the screen version means you'll probably never see a site embrace your rallying cry.

Your best bet is to stop killing trees and get a Kindle Paper White or other e-reader with a web browser.

I would love to see an E-ink-based product:

- That makes annotating and highlighting nearly as easy as with pen and paper

- Which also is not too expensive (Kindle DX pricing is fine, newly announced Sony's e-reader at $1000+ is not), and,

- Which supports easy transfer of content/URL to the device from within the firewall. (E.g. Virtual print driver that sends to the device and opens it there.)

Will be very happy to hear if there is a solution that I am not currently aware of!
