Body: <p>Does anyone use the little printer icon at the top right of many pages?  It is supposed to produce a printer-friendly view of the page, but the output looks pretty bad.  It shows the main content rather than the whole page that you get from a browser print so is potentially useful.</p>
  
  <p>According to this <a href="https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-17133" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this jira</a>, the printer friendly views were ok in 4.4.20, deteriorated in 4.5.9 and improved a bit by 4.6.9. </p>
  
  <p>So, is this an old piece of cruft that can be removed, or a useful feature in need of attention?</p>

Comments.Text: I tried to use it the other day on a 4.7 install and it wasn't very pretty!  If it is there it should work, perhaps a candidate for moving to an extension.

  Does anyone use the little printer icon at the top right of many pages? It is supposed to produce a printer-friendly view of the page, but the output looks pretty bad. It shows the main content rather than the whole page that you get from a browser print so is potentially useful.
  
  According to this [this jira](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-17133), the printer friendly views were ok in 4.4.20, deteriorated in 4.5.9 and improved a bit by 4.6.9.
  
  So, is this an old piece of cruft that can be removed, or a useful feature in need of attention?
