I've developed/improved a hack to allow your own print solution (with the idea of trip).
Demo: http://www.7dana.com (sorry..very little print icon
)NOTE:
You can't use this hack with rewrite functionality enabled in phpwcms ...sorry.

***********************************************************
1. Save this script in the root of the site for simplicity.
2. Place <!-- startprint --> somewhere in your PHPWCMS template
where you consider it to be the start of printer friendly content,
and <!-- stopprint --> goes at the end of that same content.
3. You place a link to print.php anywhere on the PHPWCMS template
(preferably outside the printed content, like this:
<a href="print.php">Print this page</a> or however you like,
just as long as you link to this script. */

// If no, change to "no". Otherwise, images are stripped by default.

// Just the domain itself, so we can fix any relative image and link problems.
