I'm occasionally seeing sites restrict the "printer friendly" versions of their pages to subscribers. Another idea--which came to me because I thought a site was doing it, though they turned out not to be--would be to stream the printer-friendly version directly to the printer. I.e., when you click the "CLICK HERE TO PRINT" button, instead of rendering the printer-friendly version in a browser window, with the simple, graphic-free printable layout, it would just be materialized and sent straight to the printer.
 
The point in doing so would be to deny you the benefit of a clean version to link to, or for cut-and-paste emailing.
