   How can I add a simple button to print a page and to recommend a page by email?

   Email A Friend Link:
   <a href="mailto:blank?body=I thought you might be interested in <?php the_title(); ?>. You can view it at: <?php the_permalink() ?>">Send to a friend</a>

   Adding a Print page link/button would require javascript.

   Web browsers allow you to print.

   File > Print...

   The one thing that you would need is a 'Printer-friendly' page...

   I'd suggest the feed pages for that, they do not contain graphics and only have basic elements... so 'more printer-friendly'...

   This thread for example.

   You'll notice the page is very basic and much more printer friendly then the one you're looking at now...

   Esmi has you covered on the other question... ;)

   How do older versions of IE cope with what are, essentially, XML pages? That's not a route I ever considered before. But then I normally try to incorporate a print CSS sheet that makes things a bit more printer (and ink) friendly.

   I don't bother personally, it was just the first thing that sprung to mind... :) And saves having to write any code... :)
