Why would they care what the menus look like?
Some menus are sexy.
In which case, as suggested, you can demonstrate them with a
screenshot. You wouldn't expect a sexy Mozilla skin to also show up on
your printout; nor, as somebody's mentioned, would the menus on your
word-processor show up on your letters and reports, however "sexy"
they might be.
That said, the automagic printable version does seem to be incredibly
non-intuitive to people. Unfortunately, I can't think of a convenient
way of saying "contrary to what you might think, this page will look
OK printed" other than implying the exact opposite (with a "printable
version" link or somesuch). I believe last time this was mentioned,
there were suggestions of having a javascript "Print" or "Print
preview" link somewhere, which might give the right impression, but no
decent implementation was found (especially the latter seems to have
no easy solution). Anybody fancy trying to take this idea any further?
