I was not aware of this until right now. I suppose the script filters I have are preventing these pages to try to print themselves. I am sorry to request something which is bad for most of the users, my fault :-/

I think you will never have a good definition, because if the answer is "what people want?" everybody want something different. For my personal example, I do not have a lot (but a lot is here subjective) of money, enough to buy what I want
