Yes and no. You can create a print style sheet, which most browsers will use
when orinting, or print previewing.
Setting the following (or similar) in the head will allow the use of the
print stylesheet.

	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print"
href="a/c/print.css" />
	<style type="text/css" media="screen">
		@import url(a/c/new_css.css);
	</style>

This way you can set a stylesheet X pixels wide etc to fit onto the width of
the required paper. A good web designer will take all this into
consideration. 

Also, depending on how one writes the @import depends on which browsers will
cope well, or not at all. The above will work with all 4series browsers (inc
NN4.7). It might not be as pretty [1] as a modern browser [2], but the
result will be useable none the less. Of course - you have to ensure that
your divs are in the right order, as older browsers will render them in a
top down order.
