You have been told that this is bad advice already.  Having such a link 
involves another navigation step for proper printing, it does not generally 
generate the same content that is currently being viewed, and it creates a 
hardly maintainable mess in the PHP code.  DO NOT do this, use stylesheets 
instead.

And will you *please* trim your quotes?
