A print stylesheet formats a web page so when printed, it automatically prints in a user-friendly format. Print stylesheets have been around for a number of years and have been written about a lot. Yet so few websites implement them, meaning we’re left with web pages that frustratingly don’t properly print on to paper.

It’s remarkable that so few websites use print stylesheets as:

• Print stylesheets enormously improve usability, especially for pages with a lot of content (such as this one!)
• They’re phenomenally quick and easy to set
