There's a great extension for Firefox (and I'm sure equivalents exist for all browsers supporting extensions) allowing you to cherry-pick and remove all "dirty" content (advertisements, multimedia, silly CSS, etc.) before printing. I have used [1] for quite a while now, and it's proving excellent. It also supports saving to a PDF or HTML file, which is a nice-to-have considering I prefer printing to a physical device via lpr. There are quite a few other extensions which perform very similar functions, although watch out for ones that send the site to an external service for cherry-picking, such as [2].
