What is better than adding another useless button or clutter to your page is styling it RIGHT for printing.
See: http://codex.wordpress.org/Styling_for_Print
The article takes you through a basic introduction for styling for print. When the user clicks “print” the browser will use the print style sheet to print the page. To view how your page will look printed, click File, Print Preview. You can set up your print.css to look anyway you want, changing any or all of the parts of your Theme to make it printable. I set my site up this way and elminiated the sidebar and footer which are useless to people when printed. You choose your own layout.
