Is there a way to force the system to generate a printer friendly page by adding a variable to the URL

In most browsers, File -> Print. In Konqueror, Location -> Print.

The CSS will do that for you if you were to print the regular URL.

Note that all the 'printable' URL does is to switch in the print stylesheet for on-screen display.

Normally the print stylesheet is attached so it is automatically used when printing -- just printing or print-previewing a wiki page will demonstrate this, but nobody ever seems to try. ;)
