Did you know it's easily possible to protect your pages from being printed?
In nearly all browsers, this works. Add this to the webpage you want protected:

Try it, then print the page. The page will print, but there will be nothing on it.

Here's the code for it:
<style media="print">
* {
display: none;
}
</style>

four months pass...

i presume the only way around this is to cut and paste the text into notepad, and then print that

(short of saving the html page to hard drive, editing out the offending code, resaving, and then printing from there, i suppose)
