Wikipedia is the same deal.  We've supported print stylesheets for
ages, so there's absolutely no difference (at least in theory) between
printing a page, and clicking "Printable version" on the sidebar and
then printing the page.  But some users apparently expect a "print"
link of some type on the web page itself.
