Print style sheet

I wanted to print a page of my site today to show to someone who I knew would not want to go to the hassle of firing up a browser and having me dictate the address to them. This got me thinking about a stylesheet for printing.

Investing 30 minutes and hacking my existing CSS produced a new file that formats just the content of each page. Go ahead and select "Print preview" to see what I mean.

Basically, this sheet sets the colours to black, the backgrounds to transparent, and hides a bunch of divs.

I love CSS.
