In this tutorial, we'll show you how to add a "Printer-friendly version" button to your Drupal articles. The main reason you'd want to do this is a courtesy for your readers. Many still print things they read online and you don't want them to waste that expensive printer ink just to print your logo and theme as well as the article.

This is a themed tutorial because our sister post "Creating Printer-friendly Versions of Wordpress Posts" with Wordpress tutorial covers the same topic.

Without this solution, you'd likely need to create a separate CSS file with styles specifically for the printed page.  Fortunately, the "Printer, email and PDF versions" Drupal community module makes this much easier. It will automatically create a printer-friendly version of each article.
